LOL OK, no reason to handle you with kid gloves, Mr Idiot. The temperature of the surface of the moon in sunlight reaches 253 F, and, during the Lunar night, goes down to -243 F.And? When there is an atmosphere, do the laws of physics change? All physics, even atmospheric physics, still follow all the laws of physics, do they not?
The laws of physics are universal, no matter the discipline they are applied to. For example, since this thread is about heat, we know that by the laws of physics, that heat is transferred by convention, conduction, or radiation. And thats is.
It matters not if its on the moon or on earth.
A meaningless straw-man argument. No one is saying that the laws of physics aren't universal.
What we are saying is that you very obviously know very little about the laws of physics.
By your own admission, your "area of expertise is building design and construction".....NOT PHYSICS, in all its applications and complexities.
But you foolishly imagine that you know and understand the laws of physics better than virtually all of the world's actual working PhD physicists, who, almost unanimously, affirm the conclusions of the climate scientists and atmospheric physicists regarding human caused, CO2 driven global warming and its consequent climate changes (see post #81). That's where you obviously go off the rails on the crazy train with your fraudulent, fallacious OP.
What I am saying is that heat transference does not change. And because I am in building construction, my area of expertise is physics.

For most areas on the Earth, the daytime temperature is only about 20 F to 40 F different from the nighttime temperatures. Contrast that to the nearly 500 F difference on the lunar surface. Both are the same distance from the sun, so the amount of energy they receive per square foot is the same.
What is the difference? The Earth has an atmosphere, the Moon has none. So much for your silly physics. You are an idiot.
Lol. You must understand that any heat transference takes into account any variables, right? When I do a heat loss calculation on a building, I take into consideration the interior and exterior air film surrounding the building.
Are you really stating that the laws of physics don't apply without an atmosphere, really?
Do the laws of physics work everywhere in the universe?
The aim of physics theoretical research is to formulate mathematically the "laws of physics" in such a form that the formulae will work anywhere in the observed/known universe.
