If this sends the heat into space, what happens if you’re indoors? Would it still cool you?

- pjerem 5y agoIt reflects radiant heat, that is, the form of heat that is sent by the sun rays. There is no radiant heat indoors, only convective (the form of heat that is transferred through matter). So it would not cool you inside, no.
- mark-r 5y agoNot true, anything above 0 degrees K will radiate. The problem is that indoors it will get absorbed and re-radiated right back at you. The only way to lose the heat entirely is to have it radiate all the way to space.
