Hi. Depends on how close to a star you are. Ranges from very hot near a star to about 2.7 degrees K in intergalactic space.

Temperature measures the energy per "degree of freedom" (i.e. way something can move) of whatever molecules happen to be around. So, it it becomes so cold that the molecules stop all together, then this is the "absolute zero" temperature. On the Celsius Temperature Scale (i.e. water freezes at 0, and boils at 100) this takes place at -273 degrees C

Colder than a cast iron toilet seat on the shady side of an iceberg in the middle of winter in the arctic circle...
It gets down around 4K if I remember my astronomy class correctly from a few years ago. It never gets below this otherwise space would be filled with liquid Hydrogen and Helium rather than a near vaccuum.

they say that the sun is the reason of the heat on earth but the sun and stars are every where but it is very cold in spaces
this is due to the atmosphere around the earth which keeps the heat of the sun from being wasted in space
and as there is no atmosphere to keep and isolate temperature so all the heat is wasted away
there is another reason as some scientists think is that the surface of the earth acts as a kind of mirror to collect the sun rays and heat
and as there is no surface up there,there is no heat

It gets close to -273 degrees C, but NEVER reaches that low. ABSOLUTE ZERO is not considered possible just yet, perhaps because some residual energy from the Big Bang still lingers (the jury is still out). So, it gets CLOSE TO absolute zero.
The air around you would freeze in an instant in space.

Absolute Zero is 0degrees Kelvin.
That's about -456.0 degrees farenheit.
It's cold.

Space supposedly has no temperature. Go to the link below. This will give you more information.

In space, there is no matter it's just a vacuum, without matter there cannot be heat. Matter is what makes heat, including light, lack of matter means no heat.

no way man. even in space scientists have not yet proven the "Absolute Zero" theory. they did once, but it never lasted long enough to count.

Too cold for your hair gel to work.
