In the emptiness of deep space the average temperature in the universe is approximately three degrees above absolute zero(the temperature at which molecules themselves stop moving). In other words, it's almost -270 degrees Celsius, or -455 Fahrenheit.

On the other hand, an object orbiting a star like the Sun can reach extreme temperatures above 260 degrees Celsius (500 degrees Fahrenheit).

Why is the universe so cold?

because the sun make a world warm and the sun is not that big enough to warm up all the universe. I don't agree. The universe is technically a vaccum that can expand or shrink and therefore this vaccum is not entirely filled with gases that can trap heat and stars or objects producing friction which creates heat. Besides the previous person's awnser is not valid. The sun is a star and the universe is filled with many trillions of stars which are being added to constantly which is why the universe does not have one sun.


What do scietists think will eventually happen to the universe?

Scientists predict that the universe will continue to expand indefinitely, eventually becoming cold and dark in what is referred to as the "heat death" scenario. This will occur as all stars burn out, leaving behind remnants of galaxies and black holes.


What happens if there is no stars?

If there were no stars, the Universe would be devoid of the light, heat, and energy that stars provide. This would drastically alter the formation of galaxies, planets, and the conditions necessary for life to exist. The absence of stars would lead to a dark, cold, and lifeless Universe.


Cosmologists expect the universe to?

They expect the Universe to continue expanding. Right now, the evidence is that the expansion is speeding up. They also expect entropy to continue increasing, so in the distant future, there will not be any free energy left to support life, for example. They also expect quite a few other things; the Wikipedia article on the "future of the Universe" can give you some ideas.


Is the universe in space or is space in the universe?

The universe IS space, plus everything that's in it.

Why is the cosmic microwave background (CMB) so cold despite the early universe being so hot?

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is cold because the expansion of the universe has caused it to cool down over time, even though the early universe was very hot.

It means that the universe is cold and heartless. No matter how important you feel you are or how dear you hold anything, the universe doesn't care. We are all insignificant in the universe.

How low can the temperature go anywhere in the universe?

The average temperature of the universe now is 2.72548K (the cosmic blackbody radiation of the big bang cooled by expansion). There are places colder, but nothing can be as cold as 0K (absolute zero).

What is a way the the universe might end?

Eventually all the stars in the universe will extinguish and go supernova, and the universe will become dark. With no light or energy the universe will become a cold and dark place, but alas, there's no reason to start selling all your stuff and preparing for Armageddon as this will take billions and billions of years to happen. Our own Sun will continue to burn strong for about another 7-8 billion years.


Will the darkness of the universe brighten and lighten up?

no, what would power it in a universe as cold as this (3K) and getting colder as it expands? And evidence indicates that about 3 billion years or so ago it started accelerating the expansion, therefore in the future it will cool even faster.


Is there snow somewhere in the universe on another planet?

Its possible, even probable. It would need to be cold (not extremely, but enough for it to snow) and there would have to be water on that planet.
