Shadows
Van Allen Belts
Rooster Tail
Thermosphere of the Moon
Let me ask a question. Do you know the difference between temperature and heat? Because therein lies your answer.
Although the temperature at altitude can be several thousands of degrees, the atmosphere is so thin it does not transfer heat efficiently.
When I taught physics, I used to use the example of a sparkler to demonstrate the difference. Sparklers can reach over 1000 degrees but because there is so little mass, there is not much heat transferred when a little spark hits your skin. That is why it only burns a little, where if there was a large mass of something 1000 degrees you would get 3rd burns or worse.
Earth has a MUCH more massive and dense atmosphere than the moon and transfers heat more effectively. On earth this is why when it is humid it seems hotter, even though the temperature is the same. Humid air has more mass and can transfer more heat. Lunar atmosphere is present but very very thin... so not enough of anything to transfer heat effectively.
That concludes todays physics lesson.
Any questions?

Rooster Tail Dust Pattern.
My favorite proof we landed on the moon is the rooster tail dust pattern analysis of the dust flying off the moon rover wheels video footage. I have yet to have one single flat earther explain it. Not one.
If you look at the study, it is 100% convincing. There is absolutely no way it could have been faked. Not only did they NOT have CGI special effects back then to fake it, but they had NO IDEA that this phenomenon even existed, so how could they even fake something they didn't know existed (the phenomenon of the rooster tail shape of moon dust flying off rover wheels). It is an ironclad proof unless you just dismiss the whole study which is silly because it is very carefully done and 100% convincing (and matches what we know about moon gravity, atmosphere and dust composition).
