Due to its size and composition, the Moon is sometimes classified as a terrestrial "planet" along with Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. http://www.science.uwaterloo.ca/~cchieh/cact/fig/planets.jpg
There are two primary types of terrain on the Moon: • heavily cratered and very old highlands • relatively smooth and younger maria http://www.artmatica.ch/blog/files/tag-moon-craters.php
