Part 1: Between the moon and Earth, which has a higher maximum surface temperature?

Part 2: Using complete sentences, explain the reason for this.

Answer 1

The moon has a higher maximum surface temperature compared to Earth (253 degrees of moon to 136 degrees of Earth), but this also depends on night (which is colder) or day (which is hotter).

The moon has such extreme temperatures because it has no atmosphere that can "reflect" some of the heat from the sun, whereas the earth does.

Answer 2

reasons why moon has higher surface temp

revolves closer to sun than earth
earth is mostly water and can absorb heat
moon does not have water
