Is the temperature colder during a full Moon?
Answer
Air temperature is not affected by Moon phase. It is affected by the season and whether there is a cloud cover, among other things. On a clear night, heat rises from Earth if there is no cloud cover holding it in. This might make you think it’s colder because there is a full Moon, but it’s really colder just because the sky is clear.
