If you are floating in the middle of space where there are NO stars will you be able to see 5 ft away from you? If you have a flashlight how far can u see?

No becuase there is like a infinate amount of stars which add light therefore no it isn't completely black.

So long as you stay inside the galaxy, it will be hard for you to find a place where you can't see stars. We can see hundreds of them from the surface of the Earth at night. They're even easier to see when you're above the atmosphere.
As for being able to see what's close to you, well there's nothing close to you. You wouldn't even be able to tell that your flashlight is turned on, because there's nothing there that will reflect its light back at your eyes. Maybe if you were in a nebula or thick dust cloud you could see the beam from your flashlight, but that's it.

If there were no stars, then yes space would be pitch black. If you had a flashlight and turned it on in the dead of space, there would be nearly nothing for the light to reflect off of, so you'd still see nothing.

Only in the space between galaxies is there much chance of not being able to see at least a few stars. All of space is filled with light from distant stars, galaxies, etc., but unless there's something solid around to reflect that light you're not going to see any of it.

No. The universe as an entire glows with the so-talked approximately as Cosmic Microwave historic past )CMB) radiation from the great Bang,a nd this permeates the entire of area. in case you have been to construct some form of black field to encompass a zone of area which became into shielded from the CMB, that ought to at last form thermal equilibrium with the universe as an entire,a nd initiate emitting thermal (black physique) radiation, inwards and outwards, itself. of direction, the CMB corresponds to an exceedingly low temperature, in elementary terms a pair of tiers above absolute 0, and this radiation peaks in the microwave area of the spectrum,as its call exhibits. yet even then, the area of the radiation in the seen area of the spectrum is amazingly small, extremely than 0. So besides the undeniable fact that one translates your question, the respond isn't any. As an aside, the respond meaning which you're taking the interior Neptune is wrong. There, too, thermal radiation would be modern-day, because it is going to everywhere the temperature is non-0.

you wont be able to see with a flashlight, in order to see the light from the flashlight would have to bounce off of something and come back to you, what is going to bounce off of in space?

If you are "floating" in space and there are no nearby planetary objects, there is nothing 5 ft away from you to see.
The reason you see an object is due to the light reflecting from it.
