NASA Journey To Lunar Surface HD5

The lunar surface is the outer layer of the Moon, like the ground we have on Earth. It's a quiet and empty place, with no air or weather. This means there are no clouds or wind, and the sky always looks dark.

The surface looks kind of gray and is covered in a layer of dusty material called lunar regolith. This dust was made by rocks getting smashed into tiny pieces by things hitting the Moon over a very long time.

You can find different things on the lunar surface:

Flat Plains: Some parts are flat and dark, like big flat fields. These were made by old volcanoes.

High Hills: Other parts are high up and bumpy, with lots of craters from rocks crashing into the surface.

Craters: There are lots of round holes in the ground, like when you dig a hole in the sand. These were made by big rocks hitting the Moon.

Winding Lines: You can also see long, winding lines that look like rivers. These were made by lava a long time ago.

Rocks and Dust: Everywhere you look, there are rocks and dust. Some rocks were thrown out when other rocks hit the Moon. The dust covers everything and is like fine sand.

Sky: The sky on the Moon is always black, with no colors like we have on Earth.

People have gone to the Moon before, like the Apollo astronauts, and they walked on this surface. They even brought back some rocks and dust to study.
