Background
Extreme temperatures happen in space because there is no air (or not a lot of air) to trap and move heat energy. In space, things get very hot in the sunlight and very cold in the shade. The International Space Station would be 250°F (121°C) on its sunlit side and −250°F (−157°C) on its shaded side if engineers hadn’t designed it carefully.
Video
Watch or listen to this video about extreme temperatures in space.
