Answer:

Rays

Step-by-step explanation:

The moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago according to most accepted Giant-impact theory. The Lunar surface has shows the following surface features:

Mares-The dark areas of the moon are filled with lava. These smooth and large areas can be seen from the Earth as well. These are about 3 billion years old.

Crater- These are formed when meteoroid impacts the surface. A depression is formed. Thousands of depressions are present of moon's surface. Lundar surface is continuously bombarded by the small meteors. The largest crater is the Tycho crater.

Mountains and ranges- are the bumps on the surface of the moon. These were formed about 4 billion years ago.

Rills- the cracks present on the lunar surface due to motion of its surface.

Rays- these features were last to form. These are bright rays - streaks of debris which radiate out from large impact craters.
