And the sun doesn’t generally blink out of existence. Think about how much energy is on the other side of the earth, it’s not like the two sides of earth are separate they are one huge interconnected energy system. What happens on one side impacts the other, and the core doesn’t provide enough energy and the atmosphere is leaking heat constantly
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.
The article is stupid imo. The earth cools down more than 1°F an hour when clouds appear, the sun disappearing is gonna cool down a bit more than a cloudy day. This is why I don’t get my weather forecasts from physicists. At least, that’s what seems right to me. We lose a ton of heat every night why wouldn’t losing the sun be similar lol
The ENTIRE PLANET does not cool by more than a degree from a few clouds you absolute moron. We’re not talking about your local microclimate, we’re talking about the entire world. This is as dumb a response as saying it snowed recently, so global warming isn’t real.
The entire planet isn’t smothered in clouds, but your location could be. This was just a real world example of the air temperature being directly affected by a lack of sunlight. Edit: you know you might be right but I don’t wanna admit it. I was thinking in Fahrenheit. Although where I am the temps are already cold, so I might be a bit biased from that as well

Dig three feet down and tell me how warm the earth is…
Read the article before trying to be a fucking smartarse. It gives specific numbers for geothermal radiation.
