Answer:The moon is at the same distance from the sun as the earth is but there is very cold and hot temperature variations. The main reason behind this huge variation in temperature of moon is that it has no atmosphere. The atmosphere plays a very important role in temperature control.

Answer:
The extreme temperatures on Moon are due to the lack of atmosphere. Moon has an average daytime temperature of about 100 degrees C and a night time temperature, as low as -173 degrees C. The lack of atmosphere means that there are no gases and clouds to hold the heat and spread it to the colder regions.
