(Fully buffered, with heat capacity - > infinity, T ~ (average insolation) ** 1/4; unbuffered, for a simple model in which the sun switches full on for 12 hours then off for the other 12 hours, T ~ 0 at night and ~ (2 * average insolation) ** 1/4 during day, so Tav ~ (0 +2 ** 1/4) / 2 = 0.59, much lower than the buffered case).
On the Moon, the effective buffering depth is ~ 1m, which for comparison gives about a tenth of the buffering capacity of the Earth's atmosphere, while the sol is of course ~ 29 times as long, so the temperature swing of the lunar surface is much greater, reaching ~ 120C during the lunar day.
Which is why continental climates have much colder nights than maritime climates (heat capacity of water versus soil, plus land - sea convection which allows the atmosphere to continue buffering during the night).
If reverse weathering is taken into account, then the buffering capacity of the CO2 system extends for much longer periods.
