Th  Moon  is  dry   and   barren   with no  atmosphere  or  water.It  consists  of  solid  rocks ,although  its  core  may  contain   molten  rock or  iron.The  surface  is  dusty,  with   highlands  covered  in  craters  caused  by  meteorite   impacts,  and   lowlands   in  which  large   craters  have  been  filled   by   solidified  lava  to  form  dark  areas    called  maria  or  "seas".Maria  occurs  mainly  on  the  near  side .  which  has  a  thinner  crust  than   the  far  side .Many  of  the  craters  are  rimmed  by  the  mountain  ranges  that  form  the  crater   walls  and  can  be  thousands  of  metres   high.
