What does this even mean? Ground temp? Moon has no atmosphere so it can’t be air temp right?

Moon does have an atmosphere it’s just very thin.
Oh gotcha, so is that what they are referring to with temp, air temp? If so that is way hotter than I ever thought.
Ya I think so. It can’t retain the heat at night and can’t block it out during the day
That’s pretty brutal for setting up moon bases. Think of how much energy we spend to cool down areas with warm climates on earth…..with an atmosphere that can’t block heat during the day I can’t imagine the amount of energy it would take to make consistently livable for humans.
The base would probably need to be subterranean and worry about heating (probably through some sort of shut off pass through system or nuclear)
