Recently I boarded a flight and noticed Outsideoutside air temperature as -53°C at an altitude of 36860ft  (11.23km). I don't know what causes such a freezing temperature in that altitude but was wondering higher altitudes  (space  ) may have even freezing temperatures.Here Here I got a doubt i.e what happens if an ice cube is left in space? Would it be melting or stay as it is?
