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.
