Is Space Hot Or Cold

The heat from the sun spreads in the form of radiation waves that excite molecules which make them heat up.
Is space hot or cold. Hot things move quickly cold things very slowly. If atoms come to a complete stop they are at absolute zero. This is dangerous to astronauts who have to work outside the station. Space is just above that at an average temperature of 2 7 kelvin about minus 455 degrees fahrenheit.
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. But then on the night side when not in sunlight it gets really cold into the negative hundreds of degrees. A piece of bare metal in space under constant sunlight can get as hot as two hundred sixty 260 degrees celsius.
