Belligerent refers to a tendency to hostile behavior: A belligerent reporter badgered the politician. Bellicose describes a warlike or hostile manner or temperament: Madison, far from being pushed into war by a bellicose Congress, had to drag his own hesitant party into it. (Garry Wills).
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.
When the long, dark days of winter begin to drag on and on, it can seem like Earth is the coldest planet in our Solar System. After all, it's not uncommon for many areas to experience below-freezing temperatures or even dips below 0Âº F on a regular basis. But is Earth really the coldest planet in the Solar System? Astronomers will quickly tell you it's not even close. In fact, being the third planet from the Sun makes Earth one of the warmer planets, and that's a good thing for us humans. We wouldn't be able to survive some of the coldest temperatures to be found farther out in the Solar System.
