So we all laugh at that post about how “space is cold and the sun is hot so there must be a place where space is just the right temperature”

Because yeah, that is where our planet is– Goldilocks zone and all that

Except, there’s more to it, right?

Where we are, is the ideal place for a planet to have a balmy temperature

But it’s not the place for a person just floating out in space to feel nice and warm

It’s still pretty damn cold just outside our atmosphere

If Icarus actually flew straight up from earth towards the sun, he’d get colder as he got farther from the ground. By the time he actually reached a point where his closeness to the sun was making him warmer, he and his wax wings would have been barreling through bitter cold space vacuum for a pretty damn long time

And I think that point was probably what OP was wondering about
