No. Vacuum has no temperature, and it cannot either cool anything down, nor heat anything up, by conduction or convection. An item in space that is in bright light or that is generating heat internally will become hot because there is no air to cool it, whereas an item in shade that is not generating internal heat will slowly lose heat by radiation (and perhaps sublimation of surface moisture) and become very cold.
Astronauts' space-suits have to be air-conditioned, not heated.

∙ 13y agoThe temperature in outer space varies depending on how close the location is to a star or other heat source. The sun is 11,000 degrees F on the surface. It heats the surrounding area. (That's where earth gets it's heat.) Way out in an area far away from any stars, the temperature could be -459 degrees F, which is absolute zero. It just depends on the stars, and sometimes large gas planets that generate heat.

∙ 12y agoSince the Oort Cloud has still not been completely proven we don't know. Though considering it is .8 light years away from the sun it is very very cold. It is about 1,000 times the distance from the Sun then Pluto is. So yeah no one knows the exact temperature.
It's really cold.

∙ 11y agoIf the space is more or less empty of matter the temperature can be near Absolute Zero. You can't get below about 3 Kelvin because of the
Cosmic Background Radiation.
There are "molecular clouds" that usually have temperatures in the range
10 to 50 Kelvin. That's an average of around -243 degrees Celsius.
Molecular clouds can be involved in star formation, eventually.
A bit hotter, about 100 K, are regions of neutral hydrogen atoms.
Then there are the nebulae surrounding young stars. These are mainly ionized hydrogen. These can reach temperatures of a few thousand Kelvin.
Also there is very tenuous matter that can reach about a million degrees Celsius,
heated by events like supernova explosions. Remember though that the density is very low so there's not much heat, despite the high temperatures.
So the answer is : from near Absolute Zero to about a million degrees Celsius.

At night clouds acts as a blanket by what?
They insulate the earth from the cold, barren wasteland of outer space.
What is the layer of the atmosphere that is closest to space?
The closest layer to outer space is the Thermosphere.
What is the region beyond the earth's atmosphere?
That's basically outer space.
Where might you find a temperature of 2 kelvin?
the coldest regions of outer space
Whats threats are there to earth from outer space?
The earth has several possible threats from outer space. Some of those threats are comets, asteroids, and large solar flares.
How does a space suit allow an astronaut to walk in outer space?
The suit allows the person to walk in outer space, because the suit is designed to with stand the extreme heat and cold of outer space.
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.
Where does thermal energy go when it gets cold?
It will be radiated into outer space.
How does heat enter earth when outer space is very cold?
Electromagnetic radiation.
Is outer space warn?
outer space may be warm our cold depending where u r going like if ur next to the sun of course u will become hot
Why cant organisms survive in outer space?
Organisms from earth, cannot live in outer space. They need a stable environment and a place to evolve and reproduce. Outer space, does not have a stable environment it gets hot then cold in a matter of seconds. If you really think about it, what would the organisms eat? There's nothing in outer space that would provide them with food.
Why there was no outerspace activities during cold war?
Dude! There was a LOT of outer space activity on both sides during the Cold War! The Space Race was one of the most visible parts of the Cold War.
Can liquids exist in space?
Liquids can exist in outer space, if they are in an enclosed area, such as a space craft, or a space station. They can not exist in a liquid state in unprotected outer space. Either they will freeze due to the extreme cold, or they will melt (or turn to gas) due to extreme heat.
How is earth different from space?
Space is different from earth because space has no gravitation, earth has gravitation
What is a word for a space?
outer (as in "outer space")
How they get the satellite into outer space?
they built it in outer space
What is the opposite of outer space?
There is no antonym for outer space.
