Well, honey, the dark side of the moon can drop down to a frosty -273 degrees Fahrenheit, while the light side can sizzle up to a balmy 253 degrees Fahrenheit. So, yeah, it's like picking Shackleton's Antarctica expedition on the dark side versus a scorching desert BBQ on the light side - take your pick!
The temperature difference between the dark side and light side of the moon is quite significant due to the lack of atmosphere and the moon's slow rotation, which causes extreme variations in temperature.
On the light side of the moon, temperatures can reach as high as 127 degrees Celsius (260 degrees Fahrenheit), while on the dark side, temperatures can drop to as low as -173 degrees Celsius (-279 degrees Fahrenheit). This stark contrast is mainly due to the moon's lack of atmosphere to regulate temperature and the absence of significant heat sources like the sun on the dark side.
The dark side of the moon, or the side facing away from the sun, is constantly exposed to the cold void of space, resulting in frigid temperatures. In comparison, the light side receives direct sunlight, leading to intense heat levels.
No, the moon is not always dark. The moon shines because it reflects sunlight that falls on its surface. However, the moon does have phases where it appears to be dark, such as during a new moon when the side facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun.
one side of the moon receives light from the sun and the other will never get light..that side is called the dark side of the moon..so yes the moon is dark and also receives sunlight...(the moon does not make any of its own light)
The moon is spherical and is lit by the sun. Only the side facing the sun can be lit by the sun. The other side is dark. If you were to stand on the moon you would find that the light side of the moon is experiencing day while the dark side is experiencing night.

The terminator.
Dark.
Pluto is cold and dark, In Fact it is so cold that it could freeze some of the gasses that are on Earth. It gets 250 times the light that the moon gives when it is a full moon.
the light areas of the moon are called the highlands. the dark areas are called maria.
It is indeed true. The moon reflects the light of the sun, it does not produce any light of its own. Incidentally everything else in the solar system would also be cold and dark. Life would not exist.
There is no life anywhere on the moon - light or dark side.
The color of the new moon is very dark since it is the opposite of a full moon.
No, the moon is not always dark. The moon shines because it reflects sunlight that falls on its surface. However, the moon does have phases where it appears to be dark, such as during a new moon when the side facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun.
Light from the sun is reflected off the moon making it visible in the dark.
one side of the moon receives light from the sun and the other will never get light..that side is called the dark side of the moon..so yes the moon is dark and also receives sunlight...(the moon does not make any of its own light)
both On the dark side water freezes and on the light side it would boil off.
It is overcome by the sun's light.
Yes, but there is also a Dark-side wich if you go in, will freeze you
