No atmosphere to retain heat
Any side of the moon is colder when it's dark, and warmer when it's light. Just like Earth.
The Arctic is colder than the moon. While the moon experiences extreme temperature variations ranging from around 250°F to -280°F, the average temperature on the Moon is around -4°F. In contrast, the Arctic can experience temperatures as low as -40°F or even lower.
No. The phase of the moon has no relationship to the temperature here in Earth at all. However, the fact that you can see the full moon tells us that it is night time, and that the sky is clear. Clear skies at night do allow the Earth's heat to radiate away into outer space. Moonlight subjectively feels colder, because we naturally associate light with heat, and the Moon's light gives no heat. So you may FEEL colder when you're outside seeing a full moon.
Colder, much colder.
Moon halos are not necessarily rare, but they are not seen as frequently as other atmospheric phenomena like rainbows. Moon halos occur when moonlight is refracted and reflected in ice crystals in the atmosphere, creating a luminous ring around the moon. They are more likely to be observed in colder climates with clear skies and high-altitude locations.
The Moon is smaller than Earth, so logically it will contain less matter and therefore will be colder.

Day time on the Moon is hotter than Pluto. Night time on the moon is about as cold as Pluto, sometimes colder.
The moon is not getting colder, and from all observations we're able to conduct, it's not shrinking. So the only thing that appears to have shrunk, if not completely evaporated, is your question.
Yes, it's because of the season and the weather change
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.

Sunlight arrives with the same intensity on the Earth and on the moon. However, it affects the moon differently than the Earth because the Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't. Hence, the moon gets hotter during the lunar day, and colder during the lunar night.
Answer this question… Along warm-water currents from warmer regions to colder regions
There is no causal connection between the earth's seasons and anything that the moon does. In each hemisphere, the Full Moon will tend to be higher in the sky during the colder seasons than it is during the warmer ones, but this is a result of the same geometry that initiates the seasons, not a cause of them.
Yes. The sunlit side of the moon is extremely hot - in fact it is hotter than anywhere on Earth due to the absence of an atmosphere. As a contrary, the moon gets extremely cold during the night time and it get even colder than it ever gets in Antarctica.
