  Well that is 3 questions in one, how cheeky! 🙂
  
  2 sugars in my tea.
  Space is freezing about -270 degrees Celsius
  Because of the super low pressure in space water boils at much lower temperature than it does on Earth. So it might be even easier to boil an egg in space, if it doesn’t float away!

  I stopped putting sugar in my tea a couple of years ago… So proud of myself…
  Well, space it self doesn’t have a temperature, but the temperature of the particles and radiation in space have a temperature. It is claimed that the wind from the sun that flows outward through the solar system is a million degrees celcius- but there are so few particles to measure, it is hard to say. If you measure the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the big bang, it is about -270 C. Space stretched it out from expanding and made it much colder than it was originally.
