Arab Weather - The moon's surface appears in various colors due to differences in mineral composition. Different regions appear in shades of gray, blue, brown, orange, and white.
Titanium-rich basalts darken some areas, forming lunar seas, while the highlands appear lighter because they contain calcium- and aluminum-rich anorthosite rocks. Color variation is also affected by the age of the surface; younger areas have been less eroded by space impacts and appear brighter.
Craters from meteorite impacts reveal deeper layers of lunar rock, displaying a spectrum of colors that reflect the moon's geological diversity, enabling scientists to study its composition and evolutionary history.
