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.
For the Kids
The Sun's stellar classification, based on spectral class, is G2V, and is informally designated as a yellow dwarf, because its visible radiation is most intense in the yellow-green portion of the spectrum and although its color is white, from the surface of the Earth it may appear yellow because of atmospheric scattering of blue light.[14][15] In the spectral class label, G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5505 °C)

It only gets colder as we go higher because we are leaving our atmosphere, which is what keeps the heat from the sun in...you wont experience any warmth in space.

Is that even if we go near the sun, if we hade wings could we get to the sun or would it be to hot?

I think the problem your having is that you fail to understand that space is a vacuum, there is no convection for heat because there is no air. That being said, it is the exact reason why space is still relevantly cold even in the habitable zone of a star.
So, as another person said, if you were in space right above earth and facing the sun, you would literally be fried on one side and frozen solid on the other.
