The Sun is the source of almost all heat in the Solar System. The Moon has only the Sun for a primary source of its own temperature ... so the moon is not as hot as the sun for the same reason a person standing twenty feet from a campfire is not as hot as the campfire itself: it is distant from the Sun and temperature decreases with distance.
