…in what proximity would you have to be to the sun and how fast would you have to be spinning (like a rotisserie chicken) so that your light side didn’t burn and your dark side didn’t freeze; rotating just enough to keep a relatively stable temperature?

Absolutely absurd, I know but this question somehow popped into my head and won’t leave. 😆🐔🔥🧊

    Without the atmosphere, UV is going to be among the least dangerous wavelengths for you to have to worry about.

      looks puzzled

      I don’t think that it mostly stops more-energetic stuff.

      Hmm.

      Are you thinking of the magnetosphere rather than the atmosphere? I didn’t mention that, but I guess that’d also be a factor.
