Lunar Features
The material rays are made of
Ejecta
Which body is directly overhead during a solstice?
The sun
The collection of all types of electromagnetic radiation arranged by frequency
The electromagnetic spectrum
Occurs when the Moon is perfectly between the Earth and the Sun
Solar eclipse
Definition of "waxing"
More of the Moon is becoming visisble from Earth
The darker, smoother parts of the Moon's surface
Maria (mare)
The time of year when Earth's axial tilt does not result in either hemisphere being closer to the sun.
Equinox
The name of the leading theory of the Moon's formation
The impact theory
Lunar eclipses occur during this phase of the Moon
Full moon
Definition of "waning"
Less of the Moon is becoming visible from Earth
The lighter, bumpier parts of the Moon's surface
Highlands
The cause of Earth's seasons
Earth's revolution and axial tilt
A difference between the Moon's interior and Earth's interior
The Moon has an almost fully solid interior, while Earth has multiple molten layers
The arrangement of the Sun, Earth, and Moon during a neap tide
The Moon and the Sun make a 90 degree angle with Earth.
The reason the Moon has more craters than Earth
The Moon has no erosion since it has no liquid water or atmosphere
The material covering the Moon's surface, made of small chunks of rock and dust
Regolith
The cause of the rising and setting of the sun
Earth's rotation
The reason telescopes in space can capture better images than telescopes on Earth
The reason there isn't a solar eclipse every new Moon
The Moon is usually slightly above or below Earth
How the Moon's albedo compares to Earth's albedo
The Moon's albedo is lower, meaning it reflects less light
Rilles
This would cause the difference between seasons on Earth to be less significant
The axis tilt angle decreasing
Give a detailed explanation of why Earth and the Moon have many similar minerals
A mars-sized object slammed into Earth early in its life. Material from both Earth and the object were flung into space and coalesced into the Moon due to gravity. Since part of the Moon is made of Earth, there are similarities in their minerals.

Arranged in a straight line
