It's cold outside, probably around 10F or so.

However, when you think about how Absolute Zero is -459F (-273C for those with metric scorecards), yet many planets are close to the melting point of iron at their surface, and our own planet has such high temperatures just a few miles down into the crust, not to mention the millions of degrees that stars reach, any temperature we're at is fairly cold in comparison.

Interesting perspective :)

It helps a little bit. To that end, it also makes the range of temperature of water being liquid that much more unique.

You know, space isn't actually cold?

It's not quite Absolute Zero, but it's close.

Well, if you were in space you wouldn't freeze. Because you'd be dead before all the heat left your body. So you'd die warm.

But the corpse would freeze, and then desiccate from all the moisture getting pulled out before having a chance to rot.
