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
Well, in space there is no temperature, there’s nothing there to have a temperature. Except you.
The light coming from the Sun’s heats you up when it reaches you. The closer you are the more power it has and heats you up faster.
There is a point at which the Sun’s light would balance out your heat loss to match that of your experience on Earth, but it is very far away and not interesting at all. Any potential planet there would be *waaay* colder than Earth though.
