What happens to the Moon's surface temperature during the day and night and why does this take place?

Answer 1

The surface of the moon hardly varies at all from day to day. What varies is the amount of it

that's visible to us on the earth. As the moon swings around the earth, we see more or less

of its lighted half from our varying positions.

Yes, when the sun is out and you can see the sun it is harder to see the moon because the day is so bright. But, when night falls there is no sun to brighten the landscape so you can see the moon better.

Answer 2

The Moon's surface temperature can range from extremely hot during the day (up to 127°C or 260°F) to very cold at night (as low as -173°C or -280°F). This extreme temperature variation is due to the lack of significant atmosphere on the Moon to retain heat or moderate temperature changes. During the day, the surface absorbs heat from the Sun, while at night, it rapidly loses that heat to the cold vacuum of space.

Answer 3

The moon has a very thin atmosphere so it is almost negligible and because of this the average temperature during the day is 107 deg C and at night -153 deg C
