Can someone explain to me why this isn't melting Voyager?

Except where Voyager is, the "air" is so thin there are like a dozens zeroes on the percentage thinner it is, so the amount of heat it carries is also divided by a similar amount.
Each particle is carrying a huge amount of heat, but it gets hit by very few particles. Earth is the inverse; each particle carries a very moderate amount of heat, but you get hit by a lot of them.
