- dmurray 8y agoCounterintuitively, cooling is really difficult in outer space. It's cold, but there's no air or water circulating to remove the waste heat by convection. Instead you have to rely on radiating the heat away, which is much less efficient.
- gorn 8y agoNever thought of that. Nice point!
- whatsstolat 8y agoThat's why the sun lasts so long?
- perl4ever 8y agoI have the impression "cold" is kind of ambiguous in space, because while there are very few particles, the ones that are there are moving quickly, which could be seen as a high temperature. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosphere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosphere
