Is the temperature of empty space defined? What is it?
I am not talking about the cosmos. I mean really empty space, without particles.

If there are no particles or radiation there cannot be a temperature defined as it is dependent on the average kinetic energy .
.
Now in the real universe there are no completerly empty spaces from particles or radiation. The cosmic microwave background radiation has a black body distribution temperature of 3K .
