Yes, but only by a small amount (green-house effect of atmosphere).

Note that the absence of atmosphere on the moon makes for wild temp swings.

Is the stable constant interior temperature of the earths crust very close to the normal body temperature of humans?

False


How much brighter is a full moon than a half moon?

On the side of the moon that the sun is shining on, the temperature reaches 260°Fahrenheit! That is hotter than boiling. On the dark side of the moon, it gets very cold, -280° Fahrenheit. The moon is about 2,000 miles across.


In the earths interior which zone has a temperature higher than its melting point?

The inner core of the Earth has a temperature higher than its melting point. Despite being made of solid iron and nickel, the immense pressure at the center of the Earth keeps it in a solid state even at temperatures above its melting point.


How does the temperature of Earths crust compare to the temperature of Earth and interior?

The temperature of Earth's crust is much lower than the temperature of Earth's interior. The temperature of Earth's crust generally ranges from about 0°C to 30°C, while the temperature of Earth's interior can reach thousands of degrees Celsius in the mantle and core. The higher temperatures in the interior are due to the heat generated by radioactive decay and leftover heat from Earth's formation.


How does the Moon's iron-rich core compare to that of the Earths?

The Moon's iron core is smaller and less dense than Earth's, making up about 2-4% of its total mass compared to Earth's core which makes up about 30% of its mass. The Moon's core is also believed to be solid, while Earth's core is primarily liquid.
