I see a lot of videos and shows where, if a person gets thrown out of an airlock, they immediately freeze to death. Disregarding the usual Hollywood exarcebation, WHY is space “cold” if the Sun generates so much heat radiation that it warms our very planet every day? Shouldn’t space be “warm”, then?
In: Physics
There’s no atmosphere to blow air around and heat everything evenly. So the side facing the sun would burn while the other side freezes.
