What is the temperature of the moon, and what is its core?
The temperature on the moon varies from -387 Fahrenheit (-233 Celsius), at night, to 253 Fahrenheit (123 Celsius) during the day. Because the moon has no atmosphere to block some of the sun’s rays or to help trap heat at night, its temperature varies greatly between day and night. Core: The non-fluid core may be composed of iron-rich rock. The core contains only about 2-4 percent of the Moon’s total mass; this core is probably about 225 miles (360 km) in diameter).
