The Moon’s surface undergoes extreme temperature shifts, ranging from over 100°C in daylight to minus 100°C in darkness. These fluctuations are due to the lack of atmosphere, which causes rapid temperature changes. The Moon’s regolith, poor at conducting heat, leads to insulation at deeper levels. Shaded areas, particularly in lunar pits, maintain more stable temper…The Moon’s surface undergoes extreme temperature shifts, ranging from over 100°C in daylight to minus 100°C in darkness.
