Hot and cold are comparative terms.

It is colder on Jupiter's surface than it is on Earth's surface, by mean.

Wikipedia gives the mean surface temperature as 112-165 K, which translates to about -108 Celsius and lower (consider +21 Celsius is recognized as standard room temperature on earth). The coldest temperatures ever verified on earth seem to rank at around -90 Celsius in what are essentially uninhabitable areas.

An important realization is that, due to many factors, Earth's temperature is extremely consistent. A mean temperature hides the fact that other planets undergo 'daily' cycles that range in temperature by hundreds of Celsius.

If that happened on Earth, we wouldn't last very long.

Caveats to this question/answer include: Fluctuations of temperature according to location on Jupiter/Earth, where Jupiter/Earth is in its orbit, where you even define 'surface' to be on a gas giant, etc etc.

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.

Is it hot on Saturn the planet?

The outside layers of the atmosphere are very cold, as they get little heat from the Sun. The surface is unreachable beneath the hot, extremely dense lower atmosphere.


What do models suggest make up the clouds on hot Jupiters?

Models suggest that the clouds on hot Jupiters could be composed of minerals like corundum and silicates, as well as exotic compounds such as titanium oxide and aluminum oxide. These clouds may form due to strong winds, vertical mixing, and high temperatures in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters.
