guy on Nostr: GM but actually the temperature on the Moon varies significantly between day and ...
GM but actually the temperature on the Moon varies significantly between day and night due to its lack of a substantial atmosphere. During the lunar day, temperatures near the equator can reach up to 250° Fahrenheit (121° Celsius or 400 Kelvin), while at night, they can drop to as low as −208° Fahrenheit (−133° Celsius or 140 Kelvin). In deep craters near the poles, temperatures can be even lower, with NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter measuring temperatures below −410° Fahrenheit (−246° Celsius or 20 Kelvin). These extreme temperature variations are due to the Moon’s inability to retain heat without an atmosphere. Damn Moon
