Using Moon Caves as Shelter

• seansh 2y ago
  > Near the moon’s equator, temperatures reach a blistering average of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) in daylight and plummet to minus 208 F (-133 C) at nightfall, according to NASA. The harsh temperatures have even dipped below minus 410 F (-246 C), as recorded by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. I was surprised by the range of temperature. I mean it makes sense but I guess I never thought about the temperature on the moon.
