Answer: 

Earth’s atmosphere is a thin blanket of gases and tiny particles - together called air. Temperatures on the moon are extreme, ranging from boiling hot to freezing cold depending on where the sun is shining. There is no significant atmosphere on the moon, so it cannot trap heat or insulate the surface.
