The moon and surface gets very hot in direct sunlight because?

The moon's surface gets very hot in direct sunlight due to its lack of atmosphere, which means there is no air to absorb or distribute heat. When sunlight hits the lunar surface, it is directly absorbed, causing temperatures to soar during the day, often exceeding 260 degrees Fahrenheit (127 degrees Celsius). At night, without an atmosphere to trap heat, temperatures can plummet to around -280 degrees Fahrenheit (-173 degrees Celsius). This extreme temperature variation is a result of the moon's inability to retain heat.
