…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?

      Moisture as any other fluid when exposed to vacuum of space expands and boils this transforms to vapour and that process absorbs energy which could cause the freezing.
