The temperature "in the gaps" between molecules does not exist. Temperature is a statistical property of large collections of things such as atoms and molecules. If you restrict your attention to a setting with a collection of zero objects, temperature is no longer an attribute of that collection.pBrane said:

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale used in scientific settings. It is based on the concept of absolute zero, which is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0 K.
The Kelvin scale is different from Celsius and Fahrenheit because it is an absolute temperature scale. This means that it does not use negative numbers to represent below-freezing temperatures. Instead, the temperature on the Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero and increases as the temperature increases.
The Kelvin scale is used in space because it is an absolute temperature scale and is therefore more accurate for scientific measurements. In addition, the Kelvin scale is used in space because it is not affected by changes in atmospheric pressure, which can affect the accuracy of other temperature scales.
The average temperature in space on the Kelvin scale is about 2.7 K. This is the temperature of the cosmic microwave background, which is the radiation left over from the Big Bang. However, the temperature in different parts of space can vary greatly, ranging from -270.45°C to millions of degrees Celsius.
Yes, the Kelvin scale is often used to measure extreme temperatures in space, such as those found in stars or black holes. This is because the Kelvin scale does not have a maximum temperature, unlike the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. It is also useful for measuring very low temperatures, such as those found in interstellar space.
