People living on earth know the condition of the weather here. When the countries of the Northern Hemisphere are in the grip of cold, the countries of the Southern Hemisphere are in the grip of heat. The weather is also different in different countries. A person sitting in India knows what the weather will be like in Australia or America, but do you know what the weather is like outside the earth? You must have wondered at some point or the other, what would be the temperature in space near the Earth, cold or hot? (How cold is it in space near Earth) Let us tell you, and also tell you what would be the condition if a human being reaches there without any spacecraft.
Under the News18 Hindi series Ajab-Gajab Gyaan, we bring for you such facts related to the country and the world which blow your senses. Today we are going to talk about the temperature of space near the Earth. In fact, recently someone asked a question on the social media platform Quora – “How cold is the space near the Earth?” (Temperatures of Outer Space Around Earth) The question is interesting, so let us first tell you what people said and then give you the answer according to science.

What answers did people give on Quora?
A user named Ganesh Subramaniam said- There is a lot of difference in temperature in the space just outside the Earth. Heat can be transferred in space only through radiation. Unless it collides with an object and returns, heat is not transferred. Talking about the International Space Station, the temperature of the part which is towards the Sun is up to 125 degrees Celsius, while the part which is in the opposite direction of the Sun, is -125 degrees Celsius i.e. cold. One user said that space is quite cold, but sometimes it can also be hot, it depends on which object you are talking about.
What does science say?
Let us tell you what science says about it. According to the report of Science website, there is a huge difference in temperature in the space just outside the Earth. There is no atmosphere there. Because of this, there remains a battlefield regarding temperature. It is such that there is no barrier to stop the sun’s radiation. In such a situation, the temperature in the parts which are directly in front of the sun reaches 120 degrees Celsius. Whereas those which are in the shade of the earth, the temperature is up to -100 degree Celsius. In such a situation, if a person reaches there, his death is certain in both the cases.
