This depends strongly on where you are in 'outer space'. In our solar system, it is warmer than it is farther out becaue of the heating action of the sun on the gas and dust in the solar system. In between galaxies of large clusters, the temperature can be millions of degrees! This is verified through observation of x-ray emissions. Even though this is an immense temperature, the energy density associated with it is small because there are not many atoms in that high temperature gas.
The 'background radiation' that would be most commonly thought of as the temperature of space is 2.73K.

FREEEEEZINGGGG..like..instant iclicle freezing- sept if your anywhere close too a star. The reason it is soo cold is because there are no particles in space..no air...you need air or particles to trap heat.

Pretty close to absolute zero.. i think someone else said 3K (that is pretty much what I was thinking)

there is no exact temperature because its not dense enough to hold any type of temperature

about 3K
