In the present paper, we study the thermal properties of the geometrically thin accretion disks surrounding the null naked singularity (NNS) and the first type of Joshi-Malafarina-Narayan (JMN1) spacetimes and compare the results with the accretion disk around equally massive Schwarzschild black hole. First, we examine the properties of the circular orbits in these spacetimes. The emitted flux, radiation spectra, disk efficiency, and temperature distribution on the disk surface are then investigated. The efficiency of the conversion of the accreting matter into radiation is found to be substantially higher for naked singularities than that for black holes. We also verify that the flux radiated from the disk surface is greater for null and JMN1 naked singularities than black holes. Hence, the accretion disks around naked singularities are much more luminous than the black holes of the same mass and accretion rate. In the luminosity spectra of the NNS, we find that the significant contribution of the low-frequency is coming from the nearby regions of the NNS. Furthermore, the spectral luminosity distribution for the "non-zero torque" at the inner boundary is also analysed by the inclusion of the non-zero torque value at the inner edge of the disk. The slopes of the luminosity distribution with respect to frequency for naked singularity spacetimes differ significantly from those of black holes. These unique features of the naked singularities serve as an effective tool to distinguish them from the equally massive black holes.
