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?

Space is very hot, it’s just very empty!

 Did you every notice how metal feels colder than wood? Even if they are the same temperature? That’s because the metal is heavier or denser, so there’s more of it in one place.

 Sincer there’s more stuff in one place, when you touch it more of your body heat can move into it at a time, making it feel colder. In the same way, space is very empty, so even if it’s really hot, there’s so little of it that you barely notice. Is like a single misty drop of rain, it can’t really get you wet
