Why do temperatures on the Moon's surface vary more than temperatures on earths surface?

Temperatures on the Moon's surface vary more than those on Earth's due to the Moon's lack of atmosphere, which means there is no medium to trap heat or distribute temperature evenly. While Earth’s atmosphere helps regulate temperatures and provides a buffer against extreme changes, the Moon experiences extreme temperature fluctuations, ranging from about 127°C (260°F) during the day to -173°C (-280°F) at night. This dramatic difference occurs because the Moon's rotation is slow, leading to long periods of sunlight and darkness.
