Detailed explanation-1: -Within a week, the average global surface temperature would drop below 0°F. In a year, it would dip to –100°. The top layers of the oceans would freeze over, but in an apocalyptic irony, that ice would insulate the deep water below and prevent the oceans from freezing solid for hundreds of thousands of years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Without the Sun’s heat and light, the Earth would be a lifeless ball of ice-coated rock. The Sun warms our seas, stirs our atmosphere, generates our weather patterns, and gives energy to the growing green plants that provide the food and oxygen for life on Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Space is the ultimate thermos This is the case with space. The sun’s radiation may travel through it, but there are no molecules or atoms to absorb that heat. Even when a rock is heated above 100°C by the sun’s radiation, the space around it will not absorb any temperature because of the same reason.
