Original Note:
Space acts as a thermos. The sun heats up matter, but there is no matter in space. Because of this, energy from the sun can only travel through space and it cannot heat up space since there is no matter to absorb the energy. https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/02/23/why-its-so-cold-in-outer-space/?sh=6e8452306f4b https://interestingengineering.com/science/why-space-is-cold-if-the-sun-is-hot
