		silisili on May 13, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Cities with Nice Weather I keep seeing that same reason listed in tons of places(mainly forums and blogs), but can't make sense of it. Earth is like 94 million miles from the sun, I'm not sure how people reason a few thousand feet somehow puts you too close to the sun.

Well, there’s less air between you and the sun. Most of that 94 million miles are void of anything blocking/filtering light. The last 10 miles aren’t. It likely makes a difference if it only 8-9 miles.
