Would the sun still feel warm on your skin even if you were in space?

Answer 1

Good question.
Yes!
Don't forget, the Earth is 'in space'.

Answer 2

Thank you for another chance for a Logical Theory - You can feel the warmth of the sun here on earth. Even to the slight difference of a cloud passing between you. In space without atmospheric help, you would still feel the heat. The answer is given already. Without the air to distribute the heat, the half facing the sun would fry and the half away from the sun would freeze, unfortunately....at the same time. Like on the moon, only at the terminator would temperatures be kind to human life.

Answer 3

You feel a warmth because the Earth has an atmosphere that traps energy coming from the sun.

The planet Mercury, being the closest planet to the sun, is really hot during the day, but freezing cold at night because there is no atmosphere. Venus, which is farther from the sun than Mercury, is actually much hotter because it has a very thick atmosphere.

But yeah, space is actually very cold.

Answer 4

Yes i can say for sure that the sun would still be warm in space,it would still be giving out the exact same amount of heat,only you would be closer to it.

Answer 5

Interestingly, if you were in space (lets say, in Earth orbit), the side of you facing the sun would heat up to about 240F, and the side facing away would cool down to about -190F.

Our atmosphere filters and evens out the radiation coming from the sun and makes it more tolerable here on Earth.

Answer 6

The "heat" you feel is infra-red radiation and is not dependent on atmosphere so yes the Sun would feel warm but don't try it because as many others have said you would explode from the vacuum of space

Answer 7

Assuming you found some way to breafh then without the procection of the Earth's atmosphere the side facing the Sun would be burnt and the side facing away would freeze solid.

Answer 8

If youre in space you cant even be near the suns rays because it will burn you so badly. There is no ozone layer to protect you so yes Id say it would feel especially warm.

Answer 9

Where in space?1 mile from the Sun's surface, 93 million miles, somewhere in between or further away?

Answer 10

somewhat, in case you get close adequate to the sunlight, you will sense warm. As your deliver approaches the sunlight, the outer floor of the deliver is bathed in warmth radiated from the sunlight. (As somebody observed, radiation is the 1st form of warmth pass) the floor of your deliver is designed to do 2 issues, mirror (yet another form of radiated warmth) warmth back into area and additionally to habit (the 2d form of warmth pass) warmth from the warmth portion of the deliver to the chillier sides (the section far off from the sunlight acts as a warmth sink). yet as you get even closer to the sunlight, the quantity of warmth it somewhat is radiated from the sunlight is so extreme that your deliver can now no longer effectively mirror the warmth back into area. The conduction of warmth to the chillier factors will become saturated and the chillier factors of the deliver start to get warm. At this factor the hull of your deliver is now undertaking warmth to the interior the deliver besides. There, the warmth of the hull of the deliver starts to warmth the air interior the deliver (back by way of radiating warmth into the air). And the air interior the deliver starts to pass the warmth to you thru way of convection (the 0.33 form of warmth pass). so so which you may respond to your query. sure, you will sense warm as you attitude the sunlight.
