how's the weather up there?

Question: What is the temperature on the moon?

Answer: Because the Moon has no atmosphere to block some of the Sun's light or to help trap heat, the temperature on the Moon's surface ranges from extremely hot during the day to extremely cold at night. During the day the temperature on the Moon can reach 253 Fahrenheit (123 Celsius), while at night it can drop to -387 Fahrenheit (-233 Celsius).
