If getting closer to the sun means it’s gets hotter, would there be a point in space where temperatures would be earthlike?
In: Planetary Science
there is no atmosphere in space so it’s all light including infrared to lose or gain heat. white
clothes on dark side, black facing sun and you will be roon temp much farther than earth. need probably light Grey facing sun at earth distance.
white clothing even -100 celcius (if your body wasn’t making heat) won’t feel that cold because only radiating heat away slowly. you potentially could start sweating depending on physical activity.
similar principle to high quality vacuum flask where coffee stays hot for a day.
i am assuming you are dressed in elastic tight fitting sized just for you clothes to mimic air pressure with a breathing helmet. the thicker/more insulation the clothes/space suit the warmer you feel just like wearing a winter coat. atmosphere you breathe is kept warm by your body heat
