The moon has no atmosphere. Sunlight strikes the mood completely unimpaired or scattered by atmosphere, and hence the surface of the moon is much hotter than boiling water during the day, and a few hundred degrees below zero at night.

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 are the moons temperatures?

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.
