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
No, not really. Because in space you can heat up by receiving cosmic rays, but you only cool down by radiating your heat away. There is no atmosphere to conduct or convect heat away. And because there is no atmosphere it isn’t really hot so to speak. You might be heating up but there is no Earth-like condition. If you took off your space suit to enjoy the warmth your wet surfaces would immediately start boiling away due to lack of pressure.
