The temperature on the moon can vary greatly, from extremely hot during the lunar day (up to 127 degrees Celsius or 260 degrees Fahrenheit) to very cold during the lunar night (as cold as -173 degrees Celsius or -280 degrees Fahrenheit). This is due to the lack of atmosphere to trap heat on the moon's surface.

The temperature in outer space where space shuttles fly can range from extreme cold of around -270 degrees Celsius in the shade to extreme heat of up to 120 degrees Celsius in direct sunlight. The temperature fluctuates depending on whether the spacecraft is in direct sunlight or shadow.
The average temperature of the universe is around 2.7 Kelvin (-270.45 degrees Celsius or -454.81 degrees Fahrenheit). This is the result of the cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the Big Bang. At certain regions of space, temperatures can drop even lower due to isolated pockets of extremely cold gas and dust.
During the day on Saturn, temperatures can reach around 134 degrees Celsius (274 degrees Fahrenheit) due to sunlight absorption. At night, temperatures can drop to around -185 degrees Celsius (-301 degrees Fahrenheit) as the planet radiates heat into space.
