emperatures vary so greatly because there is no atmosphere, because the moon's surface gravity is so weak that gasses can easily escape into space.
Because it has no atmosphere, heat energy from hot locales cannot be moved to colder locales. Therefore, the side facing the sun will be very hot (to the touch) and very cold on the side away from the sun. In addition, because the moon does not have an atmosphere to contain the heat or cold, the temperatures on the moon fluctuate severely during the night and day.
What else can I help you with?
Is the temperature between earth and the moon similar?
Temperature is relative, so in comparison to the sun, yes, but no, they are much different in temp. The moon has no atmosphere, so it doesn't keep it's heat when it gets dark and when it's sunny it gets really hot. The earth has a atmosphere so only some heat comes in and it stays in. The moon has the same average temp. but it gets extreme with its temp. like hundreds of degrees warm and dozens below. I hope this answer helps you.
Why did temperatures on the moon vary so much?
Because there is no atmosphere the greenhouse effect does not take place. All of the suns rays are reaching the moon with full power.
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.
Why is the moon so hot and so cold?
It doesn't have an atmosphere to regulate the temperature.
What is Saturn's temperature range and high and low?
The average temperature at the "surface" of Saturn is about minus 150 degrees Celsius. In fact that doesn't vary much from poles to equator. So, there not much of a maximum and minimum.
Why does the Moon's temperature change so much?
no water to buffer it
How do temperatures on the moon different from the earth?
Temperatures vary so much because the moon does not have an atmosphere.

What is it like on the moon and how does the lunar environment differ from Earth's?
The moon's environment is very different from Earth's. It has no atmosphere, so there is no air to breathe or protect from the sun's radiation. The surface is covered in fine dust and rocks, and the temperature can vary greatly between day and night. Gravity on the moon is much weaker than on Earth, so objects weigh less and people can jump higher. Overall, the moon is a harsh and barren place compared to the Earth's more hospitable environment.
What is Jacob's temperature when he is a werewolf?
Jacob's temperature is 108 degrees. he said so in New Moon.
Describe the range of temperatures on the moon?
On the moon's surface temperatures range from a torride 130 degrees Celsius in direct sunlight to a frigid 180 degrees Celsius at night. Temperatures on the moon vary so much because it has no atmosphere. The moon's surface gravity is so weak that gases can easily escape into space.
What is the coldest moon in your solar system?
The moon that is the farthest from the Sun. Triton, a moon of Neptune, has the lowest temperature so far measured.
