QUESTION:
What are the temperatures in farenheit near jupiter and pluto. Is it
true it's about 300 below zero?

ANSWER from Leslie Tamppari on April 9, 1997:
The temperature in space, outside of any atmosphere that holds in heat,
is -454 degrees Farenheit below zero!  However, at the top of Jupiter's
atmosphere where heat from the sun can be held in by the atmosphere,
due to a greenhouse effect, the temperature warms up to about -225
degrees Farenheit below zero.  Rocks and dirt on the surfaces of
planets will also absorb and hold some heat from the sun even if
there isn't an atmosphere.  Pluto does not have an atmosphere,
but it's surface temperature is about -370 degrees Farenheit
below zero.
