That your model of a planet as a rock near a 100W bulb is so woefully inaccurate as to be useless. Venus is hotter than Mercury but is twice as far from the sunOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

The entire point is the atmosphere is what protects us against fluctuations by the sun in the first place. So kind of the opposite to your suggestion it's all the sun's fault.
Hmm, I wonder if anyone ever calculated how long we could manage if the sun went out, before it got too cold. (The Black Cloud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia doesn't count ). Would it be days, weeks or months.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

The atmosphere would be too cold for mammals in just a few days, and would freeze to a liquid in a week or two. The fish might last a bit longer because the oceans have 'thermal inertia' and would freeze from the top down over maybe months.Comment
