Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Concept- The atmosphere is crucial in maintaining a habitable temperature and habitat. According to the vegetation and sunshine, the atmosphere modifies the distribution of temperatures over the globe.
Since the moon's surface doesn't have an atmosphere, there isn't any heat trapped there. It is heated directly by the sun's rays. It heats up during the day as a result of the sun's heat, and the temperature rises steadily. At night, however, it radiates all the heat it has absorbed, and the temperature falls sharply. On the surface of the moon, there are significant temperature gradients.
Earth possesses air, and because air is a poor conductor of heat, it acts as a buffer for temperature changes while on earth. Air maintains high levels of daytime warmth and nighttime cooling, respectively, making the earth's atmosphere habitable.
Hence, the given statement is true.
