> Because thermal radiation (the heat of the stove that you can feel from a distance, or from the Sun’s rays) becomes the predominant process for heat transfer, one might feel slightly warm if directly exposed to the Sun’s radiation, or slightly cool if shaded from sunlight, where the person’s own body will radiate away heat. Since the body also produces heat, would you even feel cool when shaded? If body heat generation outpaces radiation then I think you'd feel warm. Wikipedia puts the energy radiated out as about 2000kcals per day, or right around a human would produce from metabolism. So I guess it basically balances out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation#Human-body_emission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation#Human-bod...
