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.

Temperatures on the moon are very hot in the daytime, about 100 degrees C. At night, the lunar surface gets very cold, as cold as minus 173 degrees C. This wide variation is because Earth's moon has no atmosphere to hold in heat at night or prevent the surface from getting so hot during the day.
