The temperature of the moons surface varies greatly from day to night because the moon has what?
This is because the moon has no atmosphere, and is therefore unable to maintain heat on its surface.
What is the temperature of Mercury in Celsius?
Its surface ranges in temperature from -168°C to 427°C.
What causes temperature difference between daytime and night time?
The sun warms the surface of the earth during the day. At night, especially a clear night, that heat rises from the earth into the atmosphere, lowering the temperature.
How hot is Venus on the dark side?
