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.

Why do astronauts need warm clothing in space?

Astronauts need warm clothing in space because space is very cold, with temperatures dropping to extreme lows. Without proper insulation, their bodies would quickly lose heat, leading to potential health risks. Warm clothing helps to maintain their body temperature and protect them from the harsh conditions of space.


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!


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 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.


How do the astronauts keep warm in the space station?

Astronauts on the space station have a controlled climate with heating systems to regulate temperature. They also wear special clothing that helps to maintain their body heat. Additionally, the station has insulation to minimize heat loss.
