What S The Temperature In Space

Astronomers tell us that the solar wind and interstellar gas clouds are over a thousand degrees and sometimes in the millions but also that the cosmic background temperature is minus 455 degrees.

What s the temperature in space. This is actually the temperature of cosmic microwave background radiation which is spread throughout the universe. For intents and purposes the temperature in space is cold. This is dangerous to astronauts who have to work outside the station. In empty interstellar space the temperature is just 3 kelvins not much above absolute zero which is the coldest anything can ever get.

A piece of bare metal in space under constant sunlight can get as hot as two hundred sixty 260 degrees celsius. In the kelvin temperature scale 0 degrees is absolute zero so obviously the temperature of outer space is nearly absolute zero and very cold. The coolest or freakiest part about space is that there are areas where there are no. The temperature in outer space is generally 2 73 kelvin 270 42 celsius 454 75 fahrenheit.

In more exact terms the temperature of the emptiness of outer space is about 3 degrees kelvin. The average temperature of outer space near earth is 283 32 kelvins 10 17 degrees celsius or 50 3 degrees fahrenheit. However on both ends of the scale the temperatures are more than a thousand degrees some reaching as high as millions of degrees. Some parts are relatively hot whereas others are extremely hot.

The real answer is that it depends. Astronaut on the moon.
