The moon is both cold and hot. In places where the sun shines on the surface , it can get to over 220 degrees. On the dark side of the moon or in the places that are in shadows, it can get to - 220 degrees or colder! The moon's lack of atmosphere is what causes these great variations in temperature. Without air, the heat from the sun does not get distributed and averaged out like on Earth.
