Part 1: between the moon and earth, which has a higher maximum surface temperature? part 2: using complete sentences, explain the reason for this.

I took the FLVS test earlier; Part One and Part Two:

Earth has a lower average temperature than the moon. Although, some might think that the earth has a higher average temperature because the earth is hot. Yet, the moon has far more avaerage temperature than the earth because the earths atmosphere blocks the suns radiation from directly hiting it. Also, the moon doesn't have a atmosphere to keep away the suns radiation.

the results is a decrease in air temperature with an increase of altitude.
