The atmosphere and the windows are transparent to the suns’ shortwave radiation. This is why it doesn’t matter if the windows are opened or closed.

Heatstroke begins when your pets’ temperature surpasses 104℉. This happens when the temperature in their environment (car) becomes higher than their body temperature with little or no air circulation (car), high humidity (heavy panting), and close quarters (car).

Awesome job Denice, what a great idea.
