It is, on a cold clear day.

Not in comparison to the heat lost through evaporation and
conduction/convection. Not even close.

I disagree. Got numbers?

In general, radiation is about an order of magnitude less effective at
transferring heat than conduction or convection.

Got numbers?

Get your own numbers.
