Temperatures between day and night vary tremendously because the moon has no atmosphere to hold in heat. Daytime temperatures are around 253 degrees and at night, the temperature drops to around -387 degrees.

The temperature on the moon varies from -387 Fahrenheit (-233 Celsius), at night, to 253 Fahrenheit (123 Celsius) during the day. Because the moon has no atmosphere to block some of the sun's rays or to help trap heat at night, its temperature varies greatly between day and night.

Because the lack of atmosphere, temperatures of the Moon are extreme. When sunlight hits the moon's surface, the temperature can reach an average of 253 degrees Farenheit (123 Celcius). The "dark side of the moon" can have temperatures dipping about 243 Farenheit belw zero (minus 153 Celsius).
