Cold is a lack of thermal energy. Cold things have low kinetic energy at the particle level whereby the random motion of their particles is relatively inactive. On Planet Earth, this is primarily associated with locations and time periods that lack the intense sunlight required to create warmth. Cold is also pervasive in outer space where the cosmic background temperature is about -455 degrees Fahrenheit or -270 Celsius. Cold can also be created or distributed by weather and technologies such as a freezer or air conditioner. The following are common cold things, phenoms and places.

Things can also be conceptually cold such as a cold color.
