The earth is warm because the atmosphere traps some of the sun's heat, whereas in space there is nothing to heat
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The temperature of space (except in the immediate vicinity of stars) is identical to the background electromagnetic blackbody radiation temperature left over from the big bang, which has cooled due to the expansion of the universe to about 3 degrees kelvin.
In the immediate vicinity of stars radiation, stellar winds, and stellar flares can heat space to temperatures between a few hundred degrees kelvin to a few million degrees kelvin.
As earth is very close to the sun, the temperature of the space enclosing earth is usually actually hotter than earth itself.

How do the astronauts keep warm in the space station?
In a space station to keep warm you would use a space heater(heater) to keep warm. Space is cold so wearind heavy cloths would help.
Why do astronauts need warm clothing in space?
The reason it is so cold in space and astronauts need warm clothing is because thair is NO element in space for warm energy conduction, an element is any natral mass.
Why is it freezing in space and not on earth?
See the answer to the question "The sun shines in space as it does on Earth Yet it is freezing cold in space what causes the difference?"
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.
What is outer space and inner space to an astronaut?
the cold side and warm side or the separation between the side of the solar system that is either too hot or just right(earth) and the coldest side of the too cold to withstand(jupiter saturn uranus neptune) and the not considered planet which if you go their and turn naked you will die with no pain and instantly!

Does cold air or warm air have more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space?
cold air

Why equator so cold than earth?
The equator isn't so cold it is very warm and the reason why it's so warm because the earth is tilted and the sun directly hits the middle of the earth called"equator"
Why is an area of warm air called a low and area of cold air called high?
because the lower you go, the warmer it will get, and the higher you go the colder it will get... example is space is so cold because it is high up, hell, or the core of the earth is so warm because it is the lowest of low.
Cold air has more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space then warm air therefore it has a what pressure?
Cold air has more molecules occupying space than warm air, therefore it has high pressure.
Why does Earth need layers?
The Earth needs layers because the earth is cold, some parts of on on top of it have heat but the Earth is always cold because of cold Space. It needs heat inside.
What is the main climate at the earth's poles?
along the equator : warm at the poles : cold and windy ;) =)) !*
