Question

The temperature on the moon varies from 110 degrees Celsius to -170 degrees Celsius. What is the possible reason for this?

Answer 1

Understanding the concept:

• Moon is the only natural satellite of the earth.
• There is a small day and night temperature on the surface of the earth because of the presence of an atmosphere.
• Atmosphere plays a vital role in temperature control.
• Moon has no atmosphere, so the temperature varies from 110 degrees Celsius(during the day) to -170 degrees Celsius(at night).
