Silly but Interesting Question(s) of the Day :) ... Everyone's Input is Welcomed!! :) Thank you :)?
I'm going to answer the outer space question. Temperature is simply a measure of how many atoms are hitting a particular point, so hotter temperatures can be caused by two things: more atoms squished into the same amount of space, or the atoms moving faster. In space, there are very few atoms spaced very, very far apart. If you put a thermometer in space, it will not get any "hits" and will show the lowest temperature it can. So technically, it is very cold in space, although the correct answer is supposed to be that temperature is undeterminable in space. And sunblock lotion would help in space, but it would not be nearly strong enough. On earth, we have our atmosphere which filters out most of the sun's harmful rays, but in space, you get it full force. If you didn't have a space suit on, the side of you facing the sun would instantly burn, and the side of you facing away would instantly freeze.
