  • How far away from the sun

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 22 22:46:18 2019
    Any one know how far away from the sun you would have to be to not feel it's heat to any extent? For example, I know an astronaut doing a space walk would bake without a suit, where the ISS is. And in the shadows, he'd freeze solid. But how far away would he have to be so the heat from the sun wouldn't be a problem, just the cold. Thanks.
