…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. 😆🐔🔥🧊

    Interesting and does make sense. Where does this image of stuff freezing instantly as it “enters” space vacuum come from?

      Probably because many pop science articles will mention that the background radiation of the universe is at about 2-3 degrees above absolute zero. Plus things like the night side of mars being freezing, pluto being a frozen rock, comets being made of ice etc…
