    Quick rule of thumb. The Earth's average temperature would be similar to the Moon's average temperature (-130 to around +120 Celsius, so average is around -5 Celsius). Though the high and low swings wouldn't be as great for the Earth (maybe to -35 and +25 Celsius) because the Earth spins in one day, while the Moon takes a month.
