That heat comes from the Sun, gets distributed all over the car because metal is conducting heat and when it rotates into the dark side it lose that energy in the form of Infrared. This car is slowly rotating to distribute the heat.
Sun side +120 degrees, shadow side -100 degrees. +120 - (-100) = +20 degrees on average.
Everyone tries to tell thats how it works but the physics dont add up.How does the metal convert heat to infrared radiation?You just changed the wavelength that should add more heat.Actual physics does not support this theory.if this would work the shuttles would not have carried additional(weight) water to dump for heatsink purpose do you understand.

BLACK BODY radiation. Not only metal but all materials emit radiation when they are above 0 Kelvin.
