Space itself has no temperature at all. Only matter can have a temperature; the vacuum of space has no matter, therefore no temperature.
The matter that's IN space, on the other hand.... When exposed in the sunlight, the sunlight can heat things up quite a lot. In shadow, or far from the Sun, heat energy will radiate away into space and the object can get pretty darned cold.
Comments: This is quite a complicated situation.
Even "empty space" is permeated by the "Cosmic Background Radiation".
So, it's usually said that the lowest temperature in space is about 2.7 degrees above "Absolute Zero".
Also, there's a lot of gas and dust spread throughout interstellar space.
There is a large temperature range from just a few degrees kelvin up to thousands of degrees and more.
Generally speaking though, I agree that the stuff in space, away from nearby stars, is usually very cold.

What numbers fill the spaces 150 SPACE 84 SPACE 42 SPACE 30 and if possible what is the formula?
"what is the wether like in space? always hot? manley cold? both?" I assume this was posted as a joke, because it was posted as an answer not a question, but always cold. In a way cold does't actually exist, it is just an absence of heat. If there is no gases, in space to be hot, then there is an absence heat, or cold.
Why is outer space cold?
because the sun faces the earth while the earth is being hot Outer space is neither hot nor cold. Temperature measures the energy of atomic particles. Sense there is no atomic particles in the vacuum of outer space there is no temperature.
Is space hot or cold?
Space itself is neither hot nor cold. It is the matter within it that varies in temperature. The temperate of this matter is dependant upon many variables, such as its distance from other planetary bodies, thermal properties e.t.c.
Will astronaut feel hot in their spacesuits?
No the suits are regulated to protect them from the freezing cold of space.
Is the blck hole hot or cold?
my guess is that a black hole would be niether because there is no atmoshere in space, although, it could be cold. i KNOW its not hot. Zachary mcalpin (13)
Do hot water take up more space than cold water?
Yes until it turns to ice when it take sup more space than hot water.
Why does hot water float above cold?
In hot water the molecules vibrate faster than cold, resulting in the same number of molecules taking up a larger space. This means that hot water is less dense than cold water, and thus floats above the cold water.
What would happen to the space shuttle in deep space?
The Shuttles and their key systems were never designed for the extreme cold of interplanetary space; while it's cold in Earth orbit, it'd downright hot compared to coldness of space between the planets.
If space was white would it get cold or hot?
If space was white it would be very hot. Space was probably white around a million years or so after the Big Bang, long before the universe cooled down to what it is today.
Do space heaters blow cold air out the back while blowing hot air out the front?
no
Why do astronauts wear specially made suits while going into space?
Because theres no oxygen in space and temperatures are extremely hot or cold
Is there radiation in space storms?
Well actually there is radiation. Because space is so cold that when the storm forms they both make radiation. Just like hot air and cold air making a tornado.
