The temperature at the lunar equator ranges from extremely low to extremely high—from about -280° F at night to +260° F in the daytime. In some deep craters near the Moon's poles, the temperature is always near -400° F. http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/moon_worldbook.html (See CDROM)

... (one mile or less in diameter) might someday be turned into domed habitats. The meteor crater in Arizona is a good example of how a smaller lunar crater would appear to astronauts on the Moon.

... inside the module to make sure it is neither too hot nor too cold. Around the Earth and Moon, temperatures could reach 250° F where the Sun shines to - 250° F when there is no sunlight. Heat is generated inside the spacecraft by both the ...
It is both warm and cold in space. Temperature is a measure of heat energy. In space there is no air so heat transports by radiation—for example, you feel warmth when you hold your hand near a red-hot stove. The Sun is the major source of heat in space. The Earth is also a major source of heat in space, since it reflects sunlight.

It's certainly plausible to build a community or city on the Moon, and perhaps more than one, but doing so will depend on several factors. One factor is finding useful things to do on the Moon, because we're not doing this just for fun. In the ...
... sphere than the Earth, and the horizon is much closer. This makes it harder to grasp how far away something really is.

It may look different than it now looks but it will still have to provide the same protection from the hostile ... heat and cold. It must provide us with the oxygen that we need to breathe and survive. Of course, in space we are in weightlessness—our body weight is zero pounds, and the spacesuit ...
The time it takes to travel to the Moon is largely a function of the amount of energy used to leave an orbit around the Earth. It could vary from two or three days to longer depending on the transfer orbit being used to reach the Moon ...
