The temperature on the Moon can vary dramatically between day and night. During the lunar day, temperatures can reach up to about 127°C (260°F), while at night, they can drop to around -173°C (-280°F). This results in a temperature difference of about 300°C (540°F) between the two extremes. The lack of atmosphere on the Moon contributes to these extreme temperature fluctuations.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the daytime much hotter on the moon than anywhere on earth?
The temperature range is so much greater mainly because of the lack of atmosphere. The Moon has no atmosphere, so the radiation from our local star, the Sun, is not filtered or diffused in any way.
What is the difference in day and night in the tundra?
the night is so much colder than the day
Why is the moon comes out only at night?
You can only see a full moon at night because its position in the sky is opposite to the sun. At most other phases of the moon, it can be seen during the daytime as well. A new moon cannot be seen during daytime because it is in the same part of the sky as the sun but on rare occasions, the new moon may pass in front of the sun. This is called a solar eclipse.
Can rainbows appear at night?
Yes, but they're noticed much less often, and are called "moonbows". They're naturally much dimmer than the daytime variety, with colors much less brilliant. The set-up is the same, with the moon being the source of light. The moon is directly behind you, in a clear patch of sky, and the air directly in front of you has a lot of water droplets in it, either from a recent rain, or even a very heavy fog. The radius of the circular moonbow is 42 degrees, and its center is directly opposite the moon, exactly as in the daytime rainbow.
What kind of clock can show you how much of the moon you could see that night?
A moon phase clock
Does the moon orbit cause night and day?
The Earth spinning every 24 hours causes day and night. The Moon has nothing to do with causing day or night. In fact, the moon spends just as much time in the daytime sky every month as it does in the night-time sky.
Which planet is the moon hotter than in the daytime?
The moon is hotter than the earth in day time but also colder in night time because the earth has a atmosphere which doesnt object us to as much heat or coldness, but the moon has no atmosphere and take in much heat in day time and freezing cold at night :) So most planets with a larger atmosphere unless really close or really far away to the sun isn't as hotter as the earth
Why you see the moon in night only?
If you only see the moon at night, the only possible reason is that you're not looking for it during the day. The moon is in the sky roughly 12 hours and 25 minutes out of every 24 hours. During a period of 29.5 days, it's in the daytime sky for exactly as much time as in the night-time sky.

Can YOU see Jupiter now?
Nope. It's daytime here. Depending on your location, Jupiter is visible in the night sky for much of the year and , at times, is one of the brightest object in the sky after the moon and Venus.

Can hornets see at night and how does their vision differ from their daytime vision?
Hornets cannot see well at night because they rely on light to see. Their vision during the day is much better than at night because they have specialized eyes that are adapted for daytime vision.

Is it colder in Edmonton than in Vancouver?
Yes, it is MUCH colder in Edmonton than in Vancouver in the winter. Vancouver's temperature rarely dips below zero Celsius while Edmonton will be below zero for most of November to March. In the summer, Edmonton will generally have higher daytime temperatures than Vancouver, while Vancouver will generally not be as hot during the day but also not as cool at night.
Why can you see both the moon and stars at night?
You know that when you get higher up off the ground, you can see farther away ... in other words, your horizon is farther away. At night, the Sun is below the horizon for people here on the ground. But it may not be below the horizon for a high-flying aircraft, and it's certainly not below the horizon for the moon, which is a quarter-million miles "up off the ground".
