Is Space Hot Or Cold
Space is just above that at an average temperature of 2 7 kelvin about minus 455 degrees fahrenheit.
Is space hot or cold. You can have high speed particles zipping by us outside the earth s atmosphere but if you took off your space suit you would feel cold because there aren t that many particles hitting you says. If atoms come to a complete stop they are at absolute zero. Hot things move quickly cold things very slowly.
This is dangerous to astronauts who have to work outside the station. So when you are directly in the sun you will actually feel pretty hot temperatures on the dayside of earth outside the international space station can get into the 100s of degrees fahrenheit. The heat from the sun spreads in the form of radiation waves that excite molecules which make them heat up.
But space is mostly full of well empty space.
