Absolute zero does not occur anywhere in the universe. No substance could actually exist at 0 Kelvins, because mass-energy equivalence states that the matter would actually cease to exist. Scientists at MIT reached a record low of 0.0000000005 K in a laboratory. The coldest place outside of a laboratory is the Boomerang Nebula, at 1 K.

There's nowhere in the universe that reaches absolute zero. Even the coldest regions of space are around 3 or 4 degrees Kelvin (3 or 4 degrees above absolute zero).
The reason is that the intensity of the energy emitted by any star in form of electromagnetic energy (including visible light) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that you are away from the star. The inverse square law means the intensity drops off pretty fast initially, but it also means the intensity never actually drops to zero.
No matter how far away you are from the Sun or some other star, you'll receive some small amount of energy from it. There's an awful lot of stars in the universe, so all of those incredibly small amounts of energy from each star add up to at least a few degrees of heat no matter where you are.

There is no place in the universe where the temperature is absolute zero. Absolute zero is impossible to achieve because at that point all particles would have zero energy so matter could not exist. It defies the laws of thermodynamics. The average temperature throughout the universe is 2.7 K (-270 degrees Celsius or -455 degrees Fahrenheit).

it rather is going to consistently have some effect on you the farther you get from the sunlight the fewer it has. in fact each and every time you double the gap the suns gravity is a million/4 as reliable because it became. Its merely once you get so far from the sunlight and closer to a various super physique that physique would have extra effect on then you definitely the sunlight .
