∙ 8y agoThe Moon has extreme high and low temperatures because it does not have an atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere shields us from direct exposure to solar rays during the day and traps heat at night.

∙ 13y agoBecause it has no atmosphere to mitigate the sun's power nor to store the heat. So the bright side gets all the sunlight at the surface - about 250 degrees F - and it then bleeds that heat off almost immediately because there's no atmosphere to hold it, so the dark side becomes extreme cold; about -250 below.

∙ 13y agobecause the moon has no atmosphere to block the sun's rays and it gets to low because there is no atmosphere to hold in the heat at night.

∙ 13y agoThe moon has BOTH extremely high and extremely low temperatures!

A planet with more than 16 moons?

What planet has 8 moons only?
I believe that might be Saturn. A lot of people say that Saturn has 64 moons and stuff like that, but very few are actually moons. I've personally seen 3 moons, but the third might have been a star. Comment: No, it's not Saturn. Neptune is the probable answer, but it now has more than 8 known moons. The two moons seen from Earth are Triton and Nereid.
