Youβve heard of the greenhouse effect right? And how itβs named after greenhouses? You know what a greenhouse is? A glass building.
Those domes would be like ovens inside.

You jest, but this is the idea behind Dyson Spheres.
A Dyson sphere is a sphere surrounding a star to capture all the solar energy of that star. People live on the inside of the sphere.

That's like saying helicopter and a scooter is the same thing lol
