Please don’t. But if you did, the vacuum would get you first—you’d explode (well, your fluids would boil, but it’s messy). Temperature wouldn’t matter because you’d have bigger problems. But let’s say you had a magic shield against vacuum. You’d still feel cold only where you’re not in sunlight.
In direct sunlight, your suit would cook like a baked potato. In the shade, you’d be a popsicle. That’s why astronauts have complex cooling and heating systems in their suits. It’s basically a space-age perfume for temperature. No joke, they even have underwear with tubes of water to keep them from turning into astronaut jerky.

Why Does This Matter?
Because space is a snarky landlord—it charges extreme heat in the day and extreme cold at night. Every satellite and spaceship has to handle this temperature roller coaster. Engineers use gold foil, radiators, and even little electric heaters to keep things comfy. If a Mars rover gets too cold at night (like -100°F), it might refuse to wake up. Rude.
And here’s a mind-bender: the International Space Station wobbles between 250°F in the sun and -250°F in the shade every 90 minutes. That’s a 500-degree temperature swing every hour and a half. It’s like your oven and freezer doing a relay race. The station handles it by spinning slowly and using special radiators. We’re very fancy.
