…in what proximity would you have to be to the sun and how fast would you have to be spinning (like a rotisserie chicken) so that your light side didn’t burn and your dark side didn’t freeze; rotating just enough to keep a relatively stable temperature?
Absolutely absurd, I know but this question somehow popped into my head and won’t leave. 😆🐔🔥🧊
Yep, in space, getting rid of excess heat is a much harder problem than you’d think, because radiation is a lot less efficient compared to convection (distribution of heat through movement of fluid like air or water).
