I think that it does - the faster the molecules are moving, the higher the
temperature - no molecules = no movement = very cold. This was my initial
thought, but now I am wondering, what molecules are there to absorb the
energy off of my rapidly moving molecules, thus freezing me? I'm not sure..
but I know that somehow space is considered "cold" and acts cold. Craft sent
to mars have been engineered to survive frigid temperatures.
