HA!
My intent was actually more crafty.
1) I was referring to the approximate fact that the sunward side of objects
one AU from the sun reaches about 300F,
while the darkward side cools considerably.
2) I hadn't thought of this until you guessed I meant some other units, but
one could also take this as a veiled joke about NASA. and their reported
units confusion debacle.
I hereby add this meaning to my intention. :)
Thanks for contributing.
