Because the near side is protected somewhat by the earth.
it is about 273 degrees on the sunny side of the moon.
We only ever see the same side of the moon. The other side is called the far side or "the dark side of the moon"
The moon's near side always faces earth because of the definition of the word "near". If it didn't always face earth, it wouldn't be known as the "near side".
you see the near side of the moon.
if we are near the full side of the moon, the temperature will drop. If you notice, when we have anew moon, it's a bit warmer. In a word, magnetism. (Gravity)

Full Moon
There are two separate things that need to be addressed. One is the surface area of the Moon. The other is the surface area of the NEAR SIDE of the Moon. As a sphere in space, the Moon is always 50% illuminated, except during lunar eclipses. The phases of the Moon measure what percentage of the NEAR SIDE of the Moon is illuminated. At the new moon, none of the near side is lit up; at the full moon, 100% of the near side is illuminated.
