If you are talking about Earth the Exosphere can reach temperatures of 2,500 °C (4,530 °F) during the day. Even though the temperature is so high, you would not feel warm even in the thermosphere which can get up-to 1,500 °C (2,730 °F), you would feel no heat due to the fact there are so few molecules and it is so close to vacuum.

Since there is no clear boundary between outer space and the exosphere, the exosphere is sometimes considered a part of outer space. So people use the Thermosphere as the delineator

The layer of the atmosphere with the lowest temperature is the
