True
Moon
The text states that lunar seas on the Moon are frozen lava and their smoothness is due to low gravity.
Infact verdict: True (80/100).
The claims about the lunar seas being frozen lava and their smoothness due to low gravity are supported by scientific evidence. The lunar maria are indeed solidified lava plains formed by ancient volcanic activity, as confirmed by reliable sources like the BBC. The smoothness of these plains is attributed to the Moon's low gravity, which allows lava to spread more evenly, as supported by sources like ScienceDirect and Wikipedia.

Science
The dark spots on the Moon, known as lunar seas, are frozen lava.
The claim is supported by high-quality sources such as the BBC, which confirm that the lunar maria are solidified lava plains formed by ancient volcanic activity. These areas are composed of iron-rich basalt, which gives them their dark appearance.

The smoothness of lunar seas is due to the Moon’s low gravity.
The claim is supported by medium-quality sources like ScienceDirect and Wikipedia, which explain that the Moon's low gravity allows lava flows to spread smoothly, contributing to the flatness of the lunar maria.
