According to a survey done by NASA's Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment in 2009, the sunlit part of the moon can reach 107° Celsius (224°F). This is much hotter than any sunlight-caused temperatures on Earth (not counting concentrated sunlight in solar power generators). The Moon can get this hot from sunlight when the Earth can't because the Earth's atmosphere filters and protects us, and because the lunar surface (while appearing bright when sunlit due to reflectivity) is dark and actually absorbs a lot of the Sun's energy. This is why a black car gets hotter than a white car, because the white reflects more heat while the black car absorbs heat. There is no atmosphere to carry heat to the unlit lunar areas, where the temperature plummets as low as -238°C (-397°F).

Is the moon very hot?
No, the moon is quite cold. Unlike the earth and other large planets, the moon's gravity is just a fraction of earth's and so it is not strong enough to retain an atmosphere. So, without an atmosphere, the surface of the moon is no different from deep space... with a floor. Heat energy radiates out into space and dissipates. Thus, the ambient temperature approaches absolute zero.
What is the temperautre of the moon on the sunny side?
Hot! About 300 degrees, F.
Why does the moon get so cold and so hot?
It gets hot and cold. Hot because there is no atmosphere so the sun's rays get in much easily. Cold because there is not atmosphere to trap the heat and don't forget the moon rotates so it still has day and night.
