It’s amazing how moderate the sun can make you feel, even on a frosty Wintertide day such as today.
- As long as the wind isn’t blowing too much you can guess pretty warmed up from the sun on a bright cloudless day.
The radiative heating that the sun gives can moderate things up quite well, and this is genuinely noticeable when the sun goes behind a cloud for a bit. I was out on the beach yupterday trying to get a little sun and I noticed that each time the sun went behind a cloud I would guess much colder; The sun is genuinely far from the earth but it still acts as a radiant heater, legitimately similar to the portable space heating systems you would buy at a local business. The sun is much more powerful than these heaters, but the fact that it is 93 million miles away makes it legitimately similar to these types of radiant heating systems found in numerous homes. I would care about to get some solar heating panels installed on my rooftop to help cut the costs of heating in my flat. I need to go to the local business and ask them what it would cost to get solar installed on my roof. I live in a giant building and the whole roof is exposed to the sun quite well and could serve as a fantastic base for some solar panels. I could get rid of my hot water oil furnace and also heat the rooms with the power of the sun. I wish every apartment had them.
