How Cold Is Space Near The Sun
Meanwhile the shaded side of our truck is emitting.
How cold is space near the sun. This solar radiation heats the space near earth to 393 15 kelvins 120 degrees celsius or 248 degrees fahrenheit or higher while shaded objects plummet to temperatures lower than 173 5 kelvins minus 100 degrees celsius or minus 148 degrees fahrenheit. Outer space is only about 3 degrees celsius warmer than absolute zero. You would be very.
On the other hand when it s on the side when our planet completely blocks out the sun the thermometers plummet to minus 250 degrees fahrenheit 157 degrees celsius. Radiant heat needs no medium to travel. That s how the sun heats the earth with radiant heat.
Meanwhile the cosmic background temperature the temperature of. Room temperature is about 25 degrees celsius. The sun is a bolus of gas and fire measuring around 27 million degrees fahrenheit at its core and 10 000 degrees at its surface.
Some stars have a mass 60 times greater than our sun and a surface temperature of nearly 45 000 degrees fahrenheit. At our distance from the sun that temperature is about 250 degrees fahrenheit. That s about 298 degrees above what scientists call absolute zero when matter reaches a temperature of absolute zero it means that molecules have stopped jiggling altogether.
If the sun is so hot why is space so cold. It can pass through a vacuum and heat up anything it runs into. However the fact is the most common temperature in the observable universe is 2 7 k approx.
At the distance of mercury it s about 800 degrees fahrenheit. The surface temperature of pluto can get as low as 240 celsius just 33 degrees above absolute zero. As you travel away from the sun the temperature of an object in space plummets.
