How cold is it in space? That question is sure to prompt the geeks among us to pipe up with â2.7Kâ. For 2.7 Kelvin, or 2.7 degrees above absolute zero, is the temperature produced by the uniform background radiation or âafterglowâ from the Big Bang. But hang on.
Although Neptune, the farthest planet from the sun, is pretty damn cold (-360 degrees Fahrenheit), Uranus takes the prize for being our solar systemâs coldest planet. The lowest temperature ever recorded on Uranus was -371 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists arenât exactly sure why Uranus, which is more than a billion miles closer to our star than Neptune, boasts colder temperatures, but some experts believe the planetâs odd orientation or energetic atmosphere are to blame for the loss of heat.
