> but their description of cold things sucking thermal radiation doesn't jive with my freshman-physics understanding of thermodynamics. Pseudoscience alarms started to sound in my head, until I read the comments. If I understood this correctly - you will still radiate heat as normal. But, since the thermal radiation you emit will reach these things (assuming line of sight), you won't have much reflected back at you (or at nearby objects, which would heat them up). And so, you feel colder, even though the air is not being chilled. That would make sense, similar to how we can make ice during the night even in a desert. You can radiate heat into space(as not all thermal radiation will be absorbed by the air) https://tecped.com/process-of-freezing-ice-in-the-desert-according-to-physicists/ https://tecped.com/process-of-freezing-ice-in-the-desert-acc...
