* Celsius (°C): The metric system's standard unit for temperature.
* Fahrenheit (°F): Commonly used in the United States.
* Kelvin (K): The standard unit for temperature in the scientific community. It's an absolute temperature scale, meaning zero Kelvin represents absolute zero.
It's important to note that the Moon's temperature extremes are vastly different from Earth's. The lunar surface experiences extreme temperature swings due to the lack of an atmosphere to regulate temperatures.
* Daytime: Temperatures can reach over 120°C (248°F) under direct sunlight.
* Nighttime: Temperatures can plummet to -173°C (-279°F) in the shade.
