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.

Read the article before trying to be a fucking smartarse. It gives specific numbers for geothermal radiation.

The article is stupid as fuck. The earth cools down more than 1° an hour when fucking clouds appear, the sun disappearing is gonna cool down a bit more than a cloudy day.
