Very hot and very cold Have you ever wondered how cold it is in space? Well, apparently the vacuum of space has no temperature. But, put an object in space and it is going to experience some extreme temperatures:if left in the sunlight an object can heat up to 260°Celsius, roughly 200 degrees hotter than the hottest place on Earth. In the shade temperatures can drop to-100℃. This is much colder than the coldest places on our planet:Antarctica has an average temperature of-55℃with a record low of-89.2℃. If you want to visit Pluto, don’t forget to pack your space jacket, because it can get as cold as-260°Celsius!
