Only tangentially related to the question, but it reminded me of the time I was doing a planetarium show at BYU and a kid asked me how close we could get to the sun before it would burn us. I was like, "Well, we are 93 million miles away from the sun and it can burn us right here on the earth." Totally blew his mind.

That's really cute. :D And so true. It can't burn us to death immediately, but it can burn us enough to cause serious damage.
