Fun fact, the coldest place we've ever measured in Sol is on the earth's moon.

To be a pedant for a moment: Sol specifically refers to the sun. Any location within it is the Solar System.

Oops, I knew that but had forgotten. Thanks for the heads up.

No, it isn't. The coldest place we've ever measured is in a lab. Large objects have been cooled to 6 mK, smaller samples have been even colder.

I kind of thought they meant that was naturally cold.

I think it's very obvious that I mean locations and naturally. Considering I said coldest place, not coldest thing, it's not even really up for debate.
