The moon does not produce its own heat or light; it merely reflects light from the sun. Since it is relatively small and so far from the sun, it only receives a tiny fraction of the sun's energy, and so is not nearly as hot.

Why the light of the moon is not as hot as the sun?
Because the light from the moon is only the reflected light from the sun so when the sun is shining on you it is actually coming down on you but the light shining from the moon is the light from the sun which at night time is on the other side of the world
Is the sun also a moon?
No, Sun isn't a moon . Sun is the red hot ball of fire and emits its own light, heat and energy but moon is luminous because of sunlight .
The moon shine at night where does the light comes from?
The shining of the moon at night is the reflection of the sun bouncing off the surface of the moon. That is why we on Earth can see the moon appear as shining. For me: At day time when the sun heats the moon, the moon become hot by the energy absorbed and for anything that is hot it radiates light to some extent somehow our eyes can only receive light for wave length about 400 nm to 700 nm, and that light radiated from moon has low intensity from light radiated from the sun, we cannot see moon light at day time. At night, we can easily see the moon light since no longer exist light from the sun. Therefor, anything when it is being heated, it radiates light eventually. And for this, certainly, we can store the sun light at day time and use it at the night time, don't you think so?

How are the sun and moon different?
The sun is a star that is extremely hot and is a source of light for the planet. While the moon is a mass that orbits around earth and reflects light.

Why does the Moon's surface become too hot?
the sun is reflecting its rays of light on it
