The moon has no atmosphere. During the day, the sun beats down on it mercilessly - not "tamed" or "softened" by a layer of atmosphere. During the lunar night, the heat rapidly escapes into space, plunging the lunar surface several hundred degrees below zero. The moon's weather would be earth's weather too - except for our atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the moon get so cold at night?
At night, the moon does not have an atmosphere to trap heat like the Earth does. Without this protective layer, the moon's surface quickly loses heat and becomes very cold as it is exposed to the cold vacuum of space.
How cold does the moon get?
The temperature on the moon can vary greatly, from extremely hot during the lunar day (up to 127 degrees Celsius or 260 degrees Fahrenheit) to very cold during the lunar night (as cold as -173 degrees Celsius or -280 degrees Fahrenheit). This is due to the lack of atmosphere to trap heat on the moon's surface.
What is the surface temp on the moon during the day what was it during at night?

Why does the moon get very hot and very cold?
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.
Why is the moon hot during the day and so cold at night?
During the day, the surface temperature averages 107°C, and during the lunar night, it averages -153°C. How is the moon going to be hot during the DAY, if the moon comes out at night? Since the Moon and the Earth are approximately the same distance from the Sun, they receive sunlight of the same strength. So the temperature of the Earth and the Moon should be the same. It is the Moon's lack of atmosphere that creates such extreme temperatures. The Moon doesn't have an atmosphere to absorb sunlight like the Earth does, and so the surface gets very hot. The Moon's lack of atmosphere also lets heat escape during lunar nights so that it gets rather chilly on the surface!
Is the moon to cold for humans?
During the lunar 'night' it is.
Why does the moon get so cold at night?
At night, the moon does not have an atmosphere to trap heat like the Earth does. Without this protective layer, the moon's surface quickly loses heat and becomes very cold as it is exposed to the cold vacuum of space.
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.
How cold does the moon get?
The temperature on the moon can vary greatly, from extremely hot during the lunar day (up to 127 degrees Celsius or 260 degrees Fahrenheit) to very cold during the lunar night (as cold as -173 degrees Celsius or -280 degrees Fahrenheit). This is due to the lack of atmosphere to trap heat on the moon's surface.
Why does the moon get so hot in the day and so cold at night?
The moon gets hot during the day because of the sun's rays hitting it. The moon gets cold at night because there is no atmosphere to hold in the heat from the day.

The temperature of the moon's surface varies greatly from day to night because the moon has?
The temperature of the moon's surface varies greatly from day to night because the moon lacks a significant atmosphere to retain heat. During the day, the surface is heated by the sun, reaching high temperatures, while at night, the surface quickly cools off due to the absence of an atmosphere to trap heat.
Is the moon hotter then the earth?
the moon has no atmosphere so it does not regulate it's temperature. It gets incredibly hot during the day and incredibly cold during the night.
What happens to the Moon's surface temperature during the day and night and why does this take place?
The surface of the moon hardly varies at all from day to day. What varies is the amount of it that's visible to us on the earth. As the moon swings around the earth, we see more or less of its lighted half from our varying positions. Yes, when the sun is out and you can see the sun it is harder to see the moon because the day is so bright. But, when night falls there is no sun to brighten the landscape so you can see the moon better.
Why does the moon get very cold?
During night on the moon, because of the absence of an atmosphere, the temperature on the moon gets very cold as all of the sun's light is radiated out into space - indeed it can get a lot colder than the Earth can ever get.
