Why can't the moon evaporate water?
because the moon isn't hot. the moon isn't bioluminescent the sun "powers" the moon.
Why are temperatures on the moon extreme?
The moon does not have an atmosphere - on the sunlit side it is excruciatingly hot whereas on the night side of the moon it is bitterly cold.
Is the moon very hot?
No, the moon is quite cold. Unlike the earth and other large planets, the moon's gravity is just a fraction of earth's and so it is not strong enough to retain an atmosphere. So, without an atmosphere, the surface of the moon is no different from deep space... with a floor. Heat energy radiates out into space and dissipates. Thus, the ambient temperature approaches absolute zero.
What is the temperautre of the moon on the sunny side?
Hot! About 300 degrees, F.
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.
