A formula describing the observed photometric properties of the lunar surface is derived theoretically. Functions for both the differential and integral brightness are obtained. The model surface on which the derivation is based consists of a semi-infinite, porous layer of randomly placed obscuring objects suspended in depth in such a way that the interstices separating them are interconnected. A layer of fine, loosely compacted dust is in the category of surfaces described by this model, but volcanic foam is not. The shape of the photometric curve depends on the fractional void volume. Bulk densities of the order of one-tenth that of solid rock are implied for the upper layers of the surface of the moon.
