…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. 😆🐔🔥🧊

    It’s not minus hundreds of degrees, it’s body temperature. Vacuum has no temperature, and it’s an insulator, not a conductor.
