Well, you seem to be determined to turn what was an interesting thread into a p***ing contest, so we should probably all just get on with photography and ignore you.Yeah Phil, he said "just like the sun" and then it didn't incinerate him instantly, either. Your determined pedantry is impressive.
But, in closing, I'll just mention that:
The sun is about 93 million miles away
It has a diameter of about 865,000 miles
It has a surface temperature of about 5,778 K
And yet here on earth it looks pretty small, and the average temperature here is just 288K (or 15C).
Which should (but perhaps doesn't) tell you that the Inverse Square Law works
