The thing about temperature is that it's not instant. Radiation from the sun heats stuff up, and that heat is absorbed by whatever the radiation hits according to its reflectivity and shape, and then lost from conduction, convection, and radiation. The characteristics of what's being heated by the sun and the environment it's in are what determine how hot it gets.

Exactly, so there must be some environment between us and the sun that's comfortable.
