Depends on where you are on the moon. On the light side, you can be over 200 degrees (e.g. 200 deg F), on the dark side you can be 200 degress below zero.

The temperature on the moon varies from -387 Fahrenheit (-233 Celsius), at night, to 253 Fahrenheit (123 Celsius) during the day. Because the moon has no atmosphere to block some of the sun's rays or to help trap heat at night, its temperature varies greatly between day and night

Unlike the earth the moon has no atmosphere with which to block out sunlight or to retain heat. As a result it experiences extremes of cold during the night and extremes of heat during the day.
Typical night time temperatures are -233 degrees Centigrade (-387 Farenheit) and daytime temperatures of 123 degrees Centigrade (253 Farenheit).

On the Sun side of the Moon, temperatures could reach 261 degrees F, and on the dark side, temperatures could go as low as -279 degrees F.

ye the 200 degree either side of zero sounds familiar, and if the universe had its way then every thing would be a cool 2 to 3 degrees (hot things want to cool and cold thingfs wanna heat up) you didn't ask that ok

Well if you want to find out yourself...
Go to your refridgerator or one that belongs to a friend.
Get out the cheese.
Stick a thermometer in it.
Whatever that temperature is...its the same as the moon's
