Of course we take it for granted. I mean for gods sake, people go about their days not even looking once at the sun. I find it hard that we don't notice something that keeps us alive, and controls the planet we live on. Instead some people give more attention to a dead sun, or planet, that has an orbit through our solar system, and arrives in sight every couple of thousand of years, that might not even exist.

People take a lot of things for granted. But what can we do?

distance from the sun does NOT determine the temperature of a planet's atmosphere! the atmosphere for each planet simply works like a filtration system, with it's own chemical make-up, filtering the starlight from afar. how is it possible for the heat from the sun to transfer through the dead cold of space?

so basically, Mercury could sustain life just as well as any other planet, depending on what its atmosphere and surface environment is like.

Imagine how thick mercury atmosphere would be for human to survive there.

Anyway, I agree with what you just said, but I thought space was neither cold nor hot.

In any case, our solar system should be really hot, since the sun composes 90 % of it; since space has not atmosphere to filter the heat of the sun, it should be really hot out there, instead of cold.

Did the astronaut have a heating system or a cooling system installed in their suits?

Anyways, these are just things that I think about. Space being cold, or at least, our solar system...what happen to the heat waves from the sun before they get here? because they do get here, don't they? Do they turn cold while traveling all the way here and then turn back hot as they enter our atmosphere?

space is around -455 Fahrenheit, or 2.725 K.

just above absolute zero. sure the sun's big, but do you know how far away all the planets are from it?

our (mis)leaders have lied to us for quite a while about how space works. watch "Thunderbolts of the Gods"!!
