The irony of a guy with PHD in his username not understanding that the Sun blasts the Earth with an absolutely unreal amount of energy

no? more like 24 hours, and only in tropical places. It goes from 85 to 55 in 12 hours right now in reality world
you’d have 24 hours to

I honestly think you’re forgetting the atmosphere and like, physical ground under our feet. It doesn’t generally drop to 0C overnight unless it’s already pretty close to 0C because of the heat trapped in the atmosphere and emanating from the earth’s core. It’s going to be more like a week for most places.

And the sun doesn’t generally blink out of existence. Think about how much energy is on the other side of the earth, it’s not like the two sides of earth are separate they are one huge interconnected energy system. What happens on one side affects the other

You are also forgetting the atmosphere and ground (and oceans, of course) - It being one huge interconnected energy system is exactly why I’m saying it would take longer. This guy’s calculations reckon we’d lose about 1 degree per 12 hours. January’s global average temperature was around 13°, so that’d be 6 and a half days. July last year it was 17°, so that’d be a whole 8 and a half days. It’s going to be more like a week.

Dig three feet down and tell me how warm the earth is…
