From Absolute Zero to Blazing Stars – The Temperature of Space

Описание: Space is incredibly cold. The average temperature of empty space, far from stars and planets, is about -455°F (-270°C or 3 K). This is only a few degrees above absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature at which atoms stop moving. Absolute zero equals -459.67°F (-273.15°C or 0 K). However, the temperature in space can vary greatly depending on where you are. Near stars, temperatures can reach millions of degrees. Planets and moons also have a wide temperature range. For example, the lowest temperature recorded on Earth was -128.6°F (-89.2°C or 184 K) in Antarctica. On the Moon, the surface temperature can go from 253°F (123°C or 396 K) during the day to -243°F (-153°C or 120 K) at night.
