as posted by the channelHow long would it take to cook a pizza outside on Venus? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice discuss the physics of surface temperature, light absorption, and physics of heat.
What is temperature in the world of physics? We explore the temperature of light and how thermometers sense heat. How can you tell the temperature if you don’t have any particles? How long would it take to cook a pizza on a windowsill on Venus? We calculate just how long it would take and what sort of factors you need to take into account while making the perfect Venusian pizza pie. How does what you’re wearing impact your temperature? We talk about light absorption, the hottest parts of Earth's atmosphere, and what’s going on in the ozone layer.
