Every night, lying on my bed, I would occasionally look up into the sky and observe the moon. My first impression of the moon is that it is very rough and have a lot of craters. The moon does look very rough even from my house.
Evidence of hypothesis:
- It is the largest crater on the Moon and the largest known crater in the Solar System. At 13 km deep, its floor is the lowest elevation on the Moon.
- The other major geologic process that has affected the Moon's surface is impact cratering, with craters formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface. There are estimated to be roughly 300,000 craters wider than 1 km on the Moon's near side alone.
-The lack of an atmosphere, weather and recent geological processes mean that many of these craters are well-preserved. While only a few multi-ring basins have been definitively dated, they are useful for assigning relative ages. Since impact craters accumulate at a nearly constant rate, counting the number of craters per unit area can be used to estimate the age of the surface.

Conclusion:
-Because the moon surface is rough, the light rays will be reflected diffusely!
