Like i understand there isn’t a lot of things for the heat from Stars to bounce off of but what causes Space itself to be cold? Is it naturally always cold and if so why?
In: Planetary Science
Cold is the absence of energy, and it’s perceived because that energy that you have that’s generating heat dissipates to attempt to even out that energy level between you and the things with less energy. There are factors like conductivity, pressure, etc, but in simplest terms, almost anything has more energy than the vacuum of space, so that energy disperses into space, so space is very cold.
