[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7948695, member: 54866"] As I mentioned earlier on another thread- heat energy is lost to the 'background' if you like- it does no useful work and can't really be measured. The entire universe is just a massive heatsink, as it remains so cold that any energy lost from a system by atoms gently settling back to the background level. Put it this way, stars, planets, asteroids, the lot are just little islands floating along in an expanse of ever sucking darkness and cold. The sun warms the Earth- mind boggling amounts of solar energy hit the Earth every day, as it does on many other planets, but the difference is the level of atmospheric gases- the greater the concentration of these, the more energy is retained rather than being reflected back into space. Planets with no atmosphere, conversely, are frozen solid. [/QUOTE]
