As a large mirror
At night the moon glows but that is not because it emits light. It’s not a star so it doesn’t shine, it simply reflects the rays of light from the sun like a mirror.
Astronauts who have travelled to the moon have found that there is no lifethere. Humans could not go and live there, because there is no atmosphere, oxygen or water. But lunar exploration still continues, and in fact frozen water has been discovered which may be used to obtain oxygen and water in the future.
Extreme temperatures
The wind doesn’t blow on the moon. For that reason, so the light side is hotter than boiling water and the dark side is colder than any place on Earth, around -180ºC!
