Where does the confusion, on my side, lurk? I based my question, concerning temperature in a shaded place on the Moon, on the principle on which vacuum flasks are manufactured: that is, the heat of the hot beverage contained does not transmit by radiation from the inner bottle of the flask to...

How to accept the contradiction between these two facts: the outer space is at –270º C, and the heliosphere, which encloses the entire Solar System, is at 100,000 ºC ?

If heat transfer by radiation, why, then, the temperatures of the outer layers of all the planets of the Solar System are colder than those of the inner layers: they should be hotter as they are nearer to the sours of radiation?

One centimeter above the ground and upward anywhere on the Moon, whether the site is sunlit or shaded, it is -457° F, as there is no medium through which the heat of the Moon's surface can transfer upwardly.

What would be the digit recorded by a thermometer suspended in the shade in a hit-by-sunrays site on the Moon? bearing on mind that the thermometer would be in a vacuum, since there is no air on the Moon, and that the seething temperature of the surroundings would have no effect on the...
