I agree with Maxwell's point that
at equilibrium two

«When a system of
bodies at different temperatures is left to itself, the transfer of heat which takes place always has the effect of rendering the temperatures of the different

bodies, is the same whether it is by
radiation or by conduction that the transfer takes place.»

If a black
body with a fixed - rate energy source is in
radiation - rate - equilibrium with the vacuum of space
at 0 Kelvins, placing additional material separate from but surrounding the black
body will likely cause the temperature of the surface of the black
body to change in such a way that energy - rate - equilibrium is re-established for the black
body.
The latter gives rise to a strong negative feedback between the surface temperature Ts and the temperature of «absolutely black
body» Tbb, which is determined by the solar

at its distance from the Sun.
I don't believe the former happens because I believe the temperature
at which black

If (a) the surfaces of both objects behave like a black
body, (b) the surface temperature of each

radiation at their characteristic absorption wavelengths (their «absorption bands»).
Radiation comes in from the sun (solar

Blackbody temperature
at 235 W / m2, the amount of incoming solar

although the cooler planet emits
radiation toward the warmer planet, supposing that one were nominally 100K and the other 150K,
at some point, supposing they were fixed to receive one another's thermal influuence they would thermalise, if there were not the presence of another radiating
body, although
radiation goes in all directions, not just towards other hypothetical planets, and may lead to Kelvin's heat death hypothesis where there was no thermal energy left.
The only difficulty with absorbtion of
radiation is that
at 20C, matter is cooler than the human
body, so its unlikely a human will absorb that much
radiation.
This assumption is absurd, the Earth reflects about 30 % of the Sun's
