The sun is a star where at the core of the sun, gravitational attraction produces immense pressure and temperature, which can reach more than 15 million degrees centigrade. Hydrogen atoms get compressed and fuse together, creating helium. This process is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion produces huge amounts of energy (pr heat) that makes the sun extremely hot.
The moon is a planet; like the earth; that gets its light from the sun (and does not produce internally any heat) and hence the moon is not as hot as the sun. The moon temperature ranges from +110 degrees Centigrade to -173 degrees Centigrade. Since the Moon and the Earth are approximately the same distance from the Sun, they receive sunlight of the same strength. However, it is the Moon's lack of atmosphere that creates such extreme temperature range. 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!
What else can I help you with?
Why does the moon get so cold and so hot?
It gets hot and cold. Hot because there is no atmosphere so the sun's rays get in much easily. Cold because there is not atmosphere to trap the heat and don't forget the moon rotates so it still has day and night.
What correction should be made to the following The air was cold but the sun was hot?
chance but for and ,the air was cold and the sun was hot?
Why does the moon get so hot during the day and so cold at night?
The moon has no atmosphere to trap heat, so during the day it absorbs a lot of sunlight and gets very hot. At night, without an atmosphere to retain heat, the moon quickly cools down and the temperature drops significantly.
How is the surface of the moon different than the surface of the sun?
The surface of the moon is rocky and barren, with impact craters and dust, while the surface of the sun is a hot plasma that emits light and heat. The moon reflects light from the sun, while the sun generates its light through nuclear fusion in its core.
Is it hot on the moon?
It certainly does, because there's no atmosphere to protect the moon from the sun's radiation, the temperature on the sunny side can reach 123 centigrade. It doesn't get warm at the poles though.
Why moon light is cool while sun light is hot?
because the moon is cold and the sun is hot which affects their temperatures
What do the sun and the moon don't have in common?
The moon is cold and it has craters . The sun is hot and has lava all over it!
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.
Why does the moon get so cold and so hot?
It gets hot and cold. Hot because there is no atmosphere so the sun's rays get in much easily. Cold because there is not atmosphere to trap the heat and don't forget the moon rotates so it still has day and night.
What sentence best contrasts two things?
The sun is scorching hot, while the moon is chillingly cold.
Is the moon as hot as the Sun because it is close to it?
No, the Moon is nowhere near as hot as The Sun, and the Moon is as far away from the Sun (on average) as Earth is.
What is the shape of the moon is it cool or hot?
The moon like Earth is basically a globe or ball. it is cold except for the changes in temperature on the surface caused by the sun.
Is the sun ever cold?
No. The Sun is never cold it is always hot.
Is Air hot or cold on the moon?
the moon actually has no air on the moon.
What correction should be made to the following The air was cold but the sun was hot?
chance but for and ,the air was cold and the sun was hot?
Why is the moon cold?
The moon is both cold and hot. In places where the sun shines on the surface , it can get to over 220 degrees. On the dark side of the moon or in the places that are in shadows, it can get to - 220 degrees or colder! The moon's lack of atmosphere is what causes these great variations in temperature. Without air, the heat from the sun does not get distributed and averaged out like on Earth.
Is Florida hot or cold?
its hot
