Message Subject HOW did we get to the MOON if we didn't know about this??

The Apollo astronauts did not go from 253F to -243F while they were on the Moon. They were on the surface for only a couple of days. The Sun angle was between 10 and 15 degrees above the horizon. The max temperature for that angle is around 90F, easily handled by the suits.

That's total bullshit right there, dude. Stupid shill bullshit. Tell me what difference the angle of the Sun makes with no atmosphere?


The angle determines how much solar heat hits a given surface. Basic thermodynamics.

It still doesn't change the fact that heating up and down is not an instantaneous process either. It takes time to change temperature. That is also basic thermodynamics.


Sorry dude, you don't understand simple radiometric properties. The intensity depends on the cosine of the solar angle.

They landed at solar angles of 10 - 15 degrees above the horizon.
