Because during the day, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by the sun. At night-time, the sun is on the other side of the globe.
So, the reason why it's cold at night is because the sun isn't in the sky to keep the atmosphere on the night-side of the Earth warm.
The Moon is capable of reflecting light from the Sun, providing the night-time side of Earth with a little light, if there was no Moon, we wouldn't be able to see at night-time. However, the Moon cannot reflect the Suns heat.
