The book explores the comparison between the Earth's land and sea and their counterparts on the Moon. Initially, the author, influenced by Kepler, believed that the brighter areas on the Moon represented water while the darker spots represented land. However, after further reflection and research, the author shifts to the belief that the brighter regions actually signify land. The text addresses various objections to this view, emphasizing the differences in surface characteristics and the implications of such comparisons between celestial bodies.
