You don't really freeze because in a vacuum you lose heat very slowly. You'd suffocate long before that. Or, as previously mentioned, go pop

Hmm, is it because vacuum acts essentially like an insulator? I'm thinking this because, from what I remember about high-school thermodynamics, heat needs to "jump" from matter to matter, and there's not a relevant quantity of matter in a vacuum to act as a heat absorber, like air does over here, right?:-?

I'm genuinely asking, I'm sure I have brain rot from watching too many sci-fi movies...

Radiation will still transfer heat. But that will be relatively slow. This image gives a quick overview of the ways heat may be transfered.

Yep, this is very clear, thank you! Visual aides are OP, I swear!
