Sort of a grand understatement - that is, in terms of temperature.

On a free floating planet in deep space far from a sun the temperature would be about -459° Fahrenheit, -273° Celsius, or 0° on the Kelvin scale.

The temperature in deep space is thought to be 0° Kelvin, for the most part. So any such planet in deep space would be more than just frozen...
