On the moon's surface temperatures range from a torride 130 degrees Celsius in direct sunlight to a frigid 180 degrees Celsius at night. Temperatures on the moon vary so much because it has no atmosphere. The moon's surface gravity is so weak that gases can easily escape into space.
Temperatures on Saturn's moon Titan range from about -290°F (-179°C) to -180°F (-117°C). This frigid environment is due to its distance from the Sun and the thick atmosphere composed mainly of nitrogen and methane, which acts like a greenhouse trapping heat.
Atmosphere.
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
Waxing. This term is used to describe the phase of the moon when it appears to be growing larger in the sky as it transitions from a new moon to a full moon.
The term used to describe the decrease in the visible portion of the moon is "waning." This occurs as the moon transitions from a full moon to a new moon phase.
"Moderate temperatures year-round" does not describe the midwestern climate, as the region experiences distinct seasons with a range of temperatures throughout the year.
Temperatures range from -153°C to 107°C on the lunar surface.
In Belem, temperatures typically range from around 24°C to 31°C throughout the year. The city has a warm and humid tropical climate with minimal temperature fluctuations.
Temperatures vary so much because the moon does not have an atmosphere.

Yes. Daylight temperatures on the moon are significantly warmer than those at night.

The range of a thermometer refers to the range of temperatures it can measure accurately. For example, a thermometer with a range of -20°C to 100°C can accurately measure temperatures within that range, but may not be accurate outside of it.
