Space remains freezing despite the Sun's extreme heat because heat transfer requires particles (conduction and convection), but space is a vacuum with almost no particles; therefore, heat can only reach objects through radiation, meaning only surfaces directly facing the Sun absorb its energy while shaded areas rapidly lose heat and become extremely cold.

The Reason Space Is Cold If The Sun Is Hot 🤨 #shorts #shortvideo #spaceAdded:
Space looks empty, yet it feels freezing despite the sun.
Most people think heat from the sun fills all space, but heat actually needs particles to transfer energy between objects. On Earth, air molecules carry warmth from one place to another. In space, there are almost no particles to carry heat.
So, even near the sun, there's nothing to warm you directly. Heat only reaches objects through radiation, not through contact. That means only surfaces facing the sun actually absorb its energy.
Shaded areas quickly lose heat and become extremely cold. That's why space stays freezing even with a blazing sun nearby.
