Another fact: The sun is very hot, but heat cannot exist in space. You
may get hot when you got out on a sunny day, but NONE of the sun's
heat can get to you directly. The energy gets here as light (the sun
is hot enough to be incandescent).

Just to clarify -- it doesn't all get here as *visible* light. Quite a bit of
it is UV and IR.
