(NOT the light or the heat- its a vacuum, no heat)

How do you explain the earth gets warmed by the sun, then?

there no heat in space , but the atmosphear makes heat possible , I think

In easy words, since I'm not a native english speaker - when the heat waves (just another spectrum of radiation) hit matter, they transform into heat. You can try it yourself next time you go outside...

Anyways, today's space stations already struggle to get rid of the heat - that's because there is no matter to transfer the heat to, it has to radiate out again. It's pretty difficult. In that sense, a station so close to a sun is even unlikely in science fiction, but it looks cool.

Of course its difficult- but there are two ways:

Shields- as in the books, where they survive a little nova with them, but I dont know how they work. (particles?)

OR the same way most of the more dangerous ionic particles and a part of the UV radiation- mostly stopped by ozon- (this two make the most heat for our planet) are stopped before they can cook us- a strong magnetic field.

The most dangerous part of the sun are solar ionic particles. They hit us with many speed and give their energy to us- which hurts our body or damages a station. As in some films, a simple heat shield would protect us and makes it possible to survive. Even a Corona is not hot enough- individual particles of the Corona are very hot (a few million kelvin), but they are too fay away from each other to make us die from their heat.

Ups, sorry ICO_hr, for misusing your thread... back to the topic.

I finished my work and everything got scaled perfectly. 500% bigger and a little bit more far away (so that the close up sector is not IN the sun- that would really be a little too hot ). After I divide the new modparts from the Pimp my Skunk Mod, I will upload the first encyclopedia-mod for Rebirth.
