The moon is hotter and colder than the earth depending on the moons rotation around the earth. The reason why is because the moon is rotating around the earth and when it is farther to the sun than the earth and therefore the moon is colder at that time. When the moon rotates and gets closer to the sun than the earth it becomes warmer than the earth.

because as you should know the planets roatate and when the moon of the earth is directed at the sun it is hotter than the earth because it is closer to the moon. and when the moon is on the oppsite side it is colder than the earth because the sun is farther away than the earth.
