Why does the vacuum of space have a temperature at all? What is it that has the temperature?
In: Physics
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles. But in space, there are so few particles that it leads to wrong assumptions. Space might be cold, but with few particles taking the kinetic energy from your body, it would take a while to freeze. Also, the high energy in the solar exposed sides of the space station will damage, but, as m not an expert BTW, I think the radiation is more of a hazard. Maybe they should put a raw Christmas Turkey on a dark and light side of the station and see what happens?
