the moon"s temperature ranges from 212 f. in the daytime,to-270 f.at night.If you stood in the sunlight on the moon without protection,your blood would boil,but you would quickly freeze in the shadow of a large rock.

If you had some sort of infinite oxygen supply (highly unlikely) and a air tight bunker sort of thing, it could be possible.\n\nThe outside would have to be something very non-absorbant to heat/light, yet still maintains insulation. It would probably be very expensive, and really limit your living conditions. Uncomfortable, boring, etc.\n\nThen there's always the question of food/water.

Neat Question!!!!\n\nHere's your answer:\n\nIf the Moon disappeared then the tides would reduce in strength by about two thirds. There would still be tides, because the Sun causes tides, too (see the Conjunctions Page). \n\nThe Moon keeps the angle between the rotation axis of the Earth and the plane of the orbit of the Earth within a fairly narrow range, so that the strength of the seasons cannot differ too much from its current value. If the Moon disappeared, then the inclination of the rotation axis of the Earth would vary much more over periods of thousands of years and could get much further away from the upright position, with corresponding greater differences between summer and winter, and hence with great influence on the climate, such as Mars has experienced (without any large moon). See http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1993Natur.361..615L, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2002A%26A...384..689E and http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0112399 (for http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2001EM%26P...85...61B). \n\nI've heard of kinds of animals that synchronize some rhythms of their lives with the phases of the Moon, and the sudden disappearance of the Moon could cause trouble for them. I believe I've heard of some kinds of turtles that come to lay their eggs on the beach at a certain Full Moon, and that the nightlife of deer and similar animals takes the phase of the Moon into account. In any case, fishermen and hunters seem to take the phase of the Moon into account, but perhaps that is because they would like to be able to see something at night. I am not a biologist, fisherman, or hunter, so I do not know the details of this. \n\nIt is highly unlikely that the Moon will just disappear. Only the very close passage of a celestial object of the size of a planet could wrench the Moon from the grip of the Earth's gravity, and such an event could also change the orbit of the Earth itself markedly, so then the disappearance of the Moon might not be the most important thing. Calculations of the future of the orbits of the planets show that such an event will not happen during the coming thousands of millions of years (at least not with one of the other planets of our Solar System as the disturbing object).

The moon is gorgeous. I love the moon. It is so mystical and romantic.

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.

For weather you need hot and cold, wind and rain, snow and ice, and sunshine. The earth has plenty of those, and our weather is a world-wide heat-engine driven by the sun, the rotation of the earth, and the tilt of the earth's rotation axis with respect to its orbital plane as it orbits the sun. Thus we get night and day (hot and cold), seasons (rain, snow and ice), and cloudy or sunny days (and cloudy nights too, but it's hard to see clouds at night; and the Moon provides us with somewhat "sunny" nights a few nights every month).\n\nThe moon has plenty of hot and cold and sunshine, so some "weathering" of its surface does occur over billions of years of time, due to heat expansion and cold contraction of "stuff" on its surface. But without wind (no atmosphere) and rain, snow, and ice (no water) there is nothing to cause real weather like we have here on earth.

First of all i would like to say that you are some kind of good thinker.. well for 4 years old, this kind of question may too complex for you. But i try to answer it for our knowledge.\n\nWell the moon is not just go down when the sun is up. The world is rotating itself, while the world is rotating around the sun. In the same time, the moon is rotating around the earth and the sun. When you are at any part of the earth expecially near to the equator, you will see some kind of nice organized pattern of when sun is out, the moon is gone, otherwise vise versa. \n\nWell, actually this is not the true. The moon is still there rotating around the earth in 24 hour time, but when the part of the earth where get alots of sun shine, the brighness of the moon will dissphere like you shine a touch in a good shinine day. The light from the touch will not seen as in the dark. But we cannot say that the ligh is gone. The light is still there but, due to the brigher light of the sun (higher cendela - unit for light), the reflaction light of moon is not seen.\n\nThere are some infomation that i can help you. It's good to think!!!

Air temperature may be several degrees warmer than ice surface temperature. Light, including infrared or warmth, is reflected from white surfaces.\n\nThe surface of the ice will melt, slowly, during the day, but it will freeze again over night. That's one of the reasons why a snow field slowly turns into ice.

The day side of the moon reaches over 200 degress fahrenheit.  Not very cold is it?  Also, when you get out near Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune you have to realize that these planets put out more heat than they get from the sun, so their local environment is warmer than many expects.\n\nAlso, the Corona (the outer layer of the sun - where the electrons are located out AWAY from the sun is over 4 million degrees!).  So that's alot of heat and we only get less than like 1/10th of 1% or so on Earth.  So we get next to nothing of what the sun actually puts out, thank god.

The moon does not change colour, only our perception of the reflection of light from the sun off the moon and then through the earths atmosphere produce the colours we see. particles in the air inhibit light travel, the faster colours, ie blue, are deflected in heavy atmosphere, letting the red show through. (so a dusty night might show a red moon) for the same reason (but the other way around) the sky is blue, and so are the oceans.

Actually the Moon is a rather poor reflector, with only 7% of light hitting it being reflected.  That is defined as an albedo of 7.  Earth by contrast has an albedo of 35, the increase being due to ice caps and clouds being extremely good reflectors.  Since the Earth is about 4 times the size of the Moon, its surface area is about 16 times as great.  With an albedo 5X greater than the Moon's and a surface 16X the Moon's, at comparable distances Earth is 90 times brighter than the Moon.  One deep space probe actually looked back and photographed the two together, and the Moon is barely visible in the original photo.

The moon takes 27.3 days to orbit the Earth.  It also takes exactly the same amount of time to make one full rotation.  So the moon only shows the same side to Earth as it goes round.  This is called 'tidally locked'.

1) Since space is considered an absolute zero temperature (I think) the answer is 340 degrees, since absolute zero is around 240 degrees below zero\n\n2) 100 degrees F.\n\n3) Nitrogen\n\n4) not sure, but I think around 10 minutes\n\n5) Alternating Current, and Direct Current

Actually, the moon does have an atmosphere, and EXTEAMLY thin, tiny, very small, negligible atmosphere.\n\nThe chances of getting hit are miniscule, there is virtually no risk.  You can see the moon of covered with impact craters, but remember, these happened over the course of billions of years.  The chances are very slim, you would have to VERY unlucky to be hit.

the light side of the moon move in front of the sun causing it to form the image you see that is know as the solar eclipse\n(since the dark side of the moon is facing you then it's clearly dark, and the sun's behind it so light shines around it)

Energy. That is the concern over the greenhouse effect, that energy will be trapped in the atmosphere raising temperatures. The average surface temperature of the earth would be -18 degrees zero without a greenhouse effect and 72 degrees zero without a biosphere which counteracts the Greenhouse effect.

On average the sun moves about 1 degree against the background stars per day (that's about 2 full moons!).  Since the Earth is on an elliptical orbit, we actually speed up and slow down, so it changes from day to day the exact amount.  \n\nIf you mean how many degrees above or along your local horizon, you need to give me your latitude and longitude to answer that.
