Belligerent refers to a tendency to hostile behavior: A belligerent reporter badgered the politician. Bellicose describes a warlike or hostile manner or temperament: Madison, far from being pushed into war by a bellicose Congress, had to drag his own hesitant party into it. (Garry Wills).
How cold is it in space? That question is sure to prompt the geeks among us to pipe up with â2.7Kâ. For 2.7 Kelvin, or 2.7 degrees above absolute zero, is the temperature produced by the uniform background radiation or âafterglowâ from the Big Bang. But hang on.
Not on the moon, where the temperature plunges to a mere minus 378 Fahrenheit. Not even in deepest outer space, which has an estimated background temperature of about minus 455Â°F. As far as scientists can tell, the lowest temperatures ever attained were recently observed right here on earth.
