What makes the face on the moon?

The surface of the moon is wrinkled with mountains and spotted with craters. There are flat plains and bumpy patches„ We see only the daylit .part of the moon, the part that is bathed in golden sunshine, And sunshine, as we know, makes shadows,

The mountains and ridges, the bumps and hills on the lunar landscape cast their shadows over the brighter sunlit areas, And we see the face of the moon as a mottled patchwork of light and darker golds.
