– If you were in space and had a space suit over your entire body except for your hand, what would it do to you?

Question

I know space is a vacuum. However, if you were to be in space with a really tight seal around your body except for your hand, would that have any adverse effects on that part of your body?

Answer 1

Not only is it a vacuum in space, but it’s also really cold, so your hand would eventually freeze solid. If your suit trulywas and would stay completely sealed during the process of your hand freezing to death, then the rest of your body would be ok.
