Is the sun hot and space cold?

[Odin]

heat is just rapidly moving particles right?
space doesn't really have those?
idk, i'm not high enough for this

Because of the gravitational potential energy of the sun creates a really high pressure on the stuff in the middle. PV=nRT which means the stuff in the middle gets hot. Then the heat flows outward through convection.

That's the way god made it

this is right

molecules are blasted off the hot sun, and there's very little in space to stop them so they're going really fast pretty much forever
so the average kinetic energy of a given molecule in space is very high (i.e. "hot")
but there are so few of them in a given area that the average kinetic energy of that given area is very low (i.e. "cold")

Ya, but what is their Kina-tec energy?

i have made this pun so many times in kinerd chats and no one has ever gotten it T_T
