I'll tell it to you in the simplest way possible:
Simply, there is nothing (no matter or energy) in space to absorb the heat.
space is nothing. it has no temperature.
See, if you were in space and if you intercept heat, you will be warm. if you don't, you will radiate heat in to space and be cold.
at earth's orbit an object will intercept about 1 kilowatt per square meter from the sun. with internal heat (computers, astronuts, etc.) this is ample to keep spacecraft warm. in fact, they often have to get rid of excess heat, which is why they are usually white.
stars are certainly hot, but by the time you are a few light years away from them their energy has spread out so much that it won't keep anything warm.
radiation is not a very good way of conducting heat...
most of the heat actually comes from the light, light is unstoppable, but heat is a completely different concept and has no ability whatsoever to travel through a vaccuum...
except for heating things up to release light/infrared/whatever which then radiates to earth and heats up earth

Light rays arn't heat there light rays. it's not until the light hits a surface where its absorbed does it get given out as heat.
Have you ever wondered why it warmer nearer the ground than up in an aeroplane when your closest to the sun? Because it's the gorund that herats the earth after it has absorbed the sun rays and the atmosphere keeps the rays in.
In space there are no objects to absord the light rays and give the energy back out as heat and so space is just cold. but if your in space then the light rays can hit you and you can absorb them so thats how you can still burn to death in space if you get too close to the sun.
Hope this helped

hey bro u listen space is nothing but i think u wanted to tell universe but it is damn huge u know more than 10 multiplied by 10 to the power 10000000000 planets 1000 times huge than sun can be placed so u tell wil it be an easy deal to heat it all up

the space is too big a thing to be heated by sun.You cannot increase the temperature of your city by turning on your microwave

What we call heat is actually atoms vibrating. Not enough atoms in space to vibrate, so not heat.
However place an object near the sun and it would heat up!

Not enough particles to heat up.

Because the earth has an atmosphere, making the suns rays alot more hotter.

space is a blank thing which contains nothing . there is no atom in space to absorb the heat.

space is nothing & you can't heat nothing
