The best answer to that would be the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is 2.73 degrees Kelvin. This is about 455 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

Very cold if you're not near a star. There is a blanket of electromagnetic waves called the cosmic background radiation that keeps it at a balmy 3 degrees Kelvin which is a minus many degrees on any other scale.

If there is nothing to absorb radiation from the sun or any star the temperature is close to absolute zero.
If something intercepts the electro-magnetic radiation the temperature of that body rises.

Depends on where the "space" is. The coldest it could ever be is "absolute zero", -273.2 deg C. Closer to the sun, it could be a few degrees warmer.

there is no such thing as cold. cold is just a definition to describe the absence of heat.
now gene get your head of your...er book.

the temperature of space can not be measured because it is a vacuum... you need matter to be able to measure temperature.
