It’s easier to think about temperature as air pressure in these situations. There is no air pressure in space, therefore no temperature.

It’s like sound, it needs a medium to have an effect on you. That medium is air molecules.

It gets complicated when you start thinking about radioactive energy but for these purposes just remember that no air means no temperature. There’s a point where the suns radiation would start heating your body.
