Albedo
Albedo is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body.
Alps
The Alps are one of the highest and most extensive mountain ranges in Europe, stretching approximately across eight Alpine countries (from west to east): Monaco, France, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia.
Cambridge University Press
Cambridge University Press is the university press of the University of Cambridge.

Cassini (lunar crater)
Cassini is a lunar impact crater that is located in the Palus Nebularum, at the eastern end of Mare Imbrium.

Europe
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere.
International Astronomical Union
The International Astronomical Union (IAU; Union astronomique internationale, UAI) is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) with the objective of advancing astronomy in all aspects, including promoting astronomical research, outreach, education, and development through global cooperation.

List of mountains on the Moon
This is a list of mountains on the Moon (with a scope including all named mons and montes, planetary science jargon terms roughly equivalent to 'isolated mountain'/'massif' and 'mountain range'). Montes Alpes and list of mountains on the Moon are mountains on the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and List of mountains on the Moon
Lunar mare
The lunar maria (mare) are large, dark, basaltic plains on Earth's Moon, formed by lava flowing into ancient impact basins.
See Montes Alpes and Lunar mare
Lunar phase
A lunar phase or Moon phase is the apparent shape of the Moon's directly sunlit portion as viewed from the Earth (because the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth, the same hemisphere is always facing the Earth).
See Montes Alpes and Lunar phase
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is a NASA robotic spacecraft currently orbiting the Moon in an eccentric polar mapping orbit.
See Montes Alpes and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
Mare Frigoris
Mare Frigoris (Latin frīgōris, the "Sea of Cold") is a lunar mare in the far north of the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and Mare Frigoris
Mare Imbrium
Mare Imbrium (Latin imbrium, the "Sea of Showers" or "Sea of Rains") is a vast lava plain within the Imbrium Basin on the Moon and is one of the larger craters in the Solar System. Montes Alpes and Mare Imbrium are LQ04 quadrangle.
See Montes Alpes and Mare Imbrium
Mons Piton
Mons Piton is an isolated lunar mountain that is located in the eastern part of the Mare Imbrium, to the north-northwest of the crater Aristillus. Montes Alpes and Mons Piton are LQ04 quadrangle and mountains on the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and Mons Piton
Mont Blanc (Moon)
Mont Blanc is a mountain in the Montes Alpes range on the Moon. Montes Alpes and Mont Blanc (Moon) are mountains on the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and Mont Blanc (Moon)
Montes Apenninus
Montes Apenninus are a rugged mountain range on the northern part of the Moon's near side. Montes Alpes and Montes Apenninus are mountains on the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and Montes Apenninus
Montes Carpatus
Montes Carpatus is a mountain range that forms the southern edge of the Mare Imbrium on the Moon. Montes Alpes and Montes Carpatus are mountains on the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and Montes Carpatus
Montes Caucasus
Montes Caucasus is a rugged range of mountains in the northeastern part of the Moon. Montes Alpes and Montes Caucasus are mountains on the Moon.

Montes Teneriffe
Montes Teneriffe is a range on the northern part of the Moon's near side. Montes Alpes and Montes Teneriffe are mountains on the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and Montes Teneriffe
Moon
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite.
Multi-ringed basin
A multi-ringed basin (also a multi-ring impact basin) is not a simple bowl-shaped crater, or a peak ring crater, but one containing multiple concentric topographic rings; a multi-ringed basin could be described as a massive impact crater, surrounded by circular chains of mountains resembling rings on a bull's-eye.
See Montes Alpes and Multi-ringed basin
Plato (crater)
Plato is a lava-filled lunar impact crater on the Moon. Montes Alpes and Plato (crater) are LQ04 quadrangle.
See Montes Alpes and Plato (crater)
Promontorium Agassiz is a mountainous cape situated on the northeast margin of Mare Imbrium on the near side of the Moon. Montes Alpes and Promontorium Agassiz are mountains on the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and Promontorium Agassiz
Promontorium Deville is a mountainous cape situated on the northeast margin of Mare Imbrium on the near side of the Moon. Montes Alpes and Promontorium Deville are mountains on the Moon.
See Montes Alpes and Promontorium Deville
Rille
Rille (German for 'groove') is typically used to describe any of the long, narrow depressions in the surface of the Moon that resemble channels.
Selenographic coordinate system
The selenographic coordinate system is used to refer to locations on the surface of Earth's moon.
See Montes Alpes and Selenographic coordinate system
Vallis Alpes
Vallis Alpes (Latin for "Alpine Valley") is a lunar valley feature that bisects the Montes Alpes range.
