When humans first walked on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969, surface temperatures varied widely, ranging from about -173°C (-280°F) at night to about 127°C (260°F) in direct sunlight during the day. The astronauts experienced temperatures around 26°C (79°F) inside their spacesuits, thanks to the insulating layers and life support systems. The extreme temperature fluctuations are due to the Moon's lack of atmosphere, which means it cannot retain heat.
