01. Does space have a temperature? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Space doesn't really have a temperature but objects, such as astronauts and satellites, can be either hot or cold depending on where they are and how they are oriented relative to the Sun and the Earth. A satellite facing the Sun heats and in shadow facing away from the Sun cools.
