Why does moon have very cold and very hot temperature variations i.e. from -190 degree celcius to 110 degree celcius even though it is at the same distance from the sun as the earth ?

Solution

Moon has got no atmosphere that is why no part of heat remains trapped in its atmosphere. That is why in day time moon gets hot and in night it cools down and cools fast and all heat is radiated off into the space there by making variation of moon’s surface temperature extreme.
