How, at 93 million miles away, does the sun feel so warm, yet when a simple cloud passes over it the warmth is incredibly dampened?

For what it’s worth –
“to lessen in intensity” is technically “damped” while “dampened” means to “make slightly wet”.
The distinction is disappearing due to the confusion and laypeople use them interchangeably so you do you with full validity, but this one of those of anthills I’m going to die upon.
