Oct 22 2012: Good Question --Okay here we go,
1: 93 million miles is the distance between the Sun and the Earth and sending satellites close to even half that distance is a friction as far as I know .And the ones orbiting earth are obviously made durable enough to withstand the Suns' heat.
2: *say you are now at sea level(0 meters) u climb up Mt.Everest (8,848 m Mount Everest, Elevation) technicall it (the 8848m) is negligible when compared to 93million miles--->so you are nowhere CLOSE to the sun
* its because of temperature and pressure that it gets colder

3:hmmm okay* humans see only the visible region of the spectrum
*electrons in the sun are in an excited state(Crazy energy stored)
*they produce gamma radiations when they return to normal state(we cant see that stuff )
*now gamma turns into x rays etc.....as it encounters more obstacles from its origin the core to the surface to the Earth and we feel the heat because of the infrared radiations one of the member of the electromagnetic spectrum of which the gamma radiations are also a part of
And VOILA! knowledge has been Shared hope t'was useful to you =)
