What is the temperature of the lunar highlands?
The temperature on the moon varies from -387 Fahrenheit (-233 Celsius), at night, to 253 Fahrenheit (123 Ce The temperature on the moon varies from -387 Fahrenheit (-233 Celsius), at night, to 253 Fahrenheit (123 Celsius) during the day. Because the moon has no atmosphere to block some of the sun's rays or to help trap heat at night, its temperature varies greatly between day and night. lsius) during the day.

Explain what causes us to see the different phases of the moon Include in your explanation a reference to the motion of the moon involved the relationship of the earth's and moon's plane of orbit a?
What you can see of the moon is the light of the sun on the moon. The part that is dark is where the sun's light is not shining on the moon. The part where the light of the sun is on the moon is experiencing "moon day" and where it is not shining is the "moon night." When the moon is in part of its orbit that is between the earth and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is dark. Since the moon is on the sun's side of the earth, we see it during the day. So a New Moon can always be seen during the day. Conversely, when the moon is in the part of its orbit in which the earth is between the moon and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is in sunshine. We mostly see the moon at night, and a Full Moon can always be seen during the night. It is important to note that the dark part of the moon is not the earth's shadow on the moon. The earth's shadow falls on the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse, which is always during a full moon because the earth is between the sun and the moon and always seen at night.
The Moon is between Earth and the Sun?
The moon is revolving around Earth, so sometimes the Moon is between the Sun and Earth and Earth is between the moon and sun.
Why does a full moon only happen about once a month?
Moon is orbiting the earth in 28 days , and when earth is between the moon and sun, a full moon occurs as moon rise in the east and full moon remains visible through out the night in the sky.
How does the moon temperature compare to earth's temperature?
the moon gets farther and closer to the sun than the earth because as you should know the planets roatate and when the moon of the earth is directed at the sun it is hotter than the earth because it is closer to the moon. and when the moon is on the oppsite side it is colder than the earth because the sun is farther away than the earth.
What are two differences between conditions for life on the moon and on earth?
Quite simply, Earth has the conditions for life, the Moon doesn't.The Earth has water, the Moon doesn't.The Earth has air, the Moon doesn't.The Moon has extreme temperature differences.

How does the temperature change when the moon is close to the earth?
It doesn't - the moon's proximity to Earth has no bearing on Earth's temperature - the Sun does that.
Why is the moon farthest away from the sun that's when its hot?
The distance between the Sun and the Moon is not related to the temperature on Earth.
Why isn't the moon totally dark when the earth gets between the moon and sun?
Isn't that called night time...
When Earth is in between the Sun and the Moon is the moon up all day?
No, when the Earth is in the middle it's Full Moon and the Moon is up from sunset to sunrise.
What is the distance and temperature range of Earth's moon?
Mean surface temperature (day)107°CMean surface temperature (night)-153°CMaximum surface temperature123°CMinimum surface temperature-233°C
Does the moon have a more moderate climate than earth?
No, as the moon has no atmosphere the temperature changes on the moon vary to extremely hot during the lunar day to well below freezing during the lunar night. Well more extreme than the temperature changes we see on Earth.

Is the moon hotter then the earth?
the moon has no atmosphere so it does not regulate it's temperature. It gets incredibly hot during the day and incredibly cold during the night.
The Moon is between Earth and the Sun?
The moon is revolving around Earth, so sometimes the Moon is between the Sun and Earth and Earth is between the moon and sun.
When earth is in between the sun and moon is it up all day or all night?
When the Earth is in the middle, you have to be on the side away from the sun in order to see the moon. That side can't see the sun, so it said to be "night" there.
