Yes, but that is not hot like fire and as I stated they do not know how far above their heads the sun is, all they really know is the sun is above them.
I don't see how that matters at all.
They make a fire, they feel warmth.
They come out of the cave into the sun, they feel the same warmth.
They come out of the cave NO SUN, NO WARMTH.
What's your issue with the assumptions made by my ficticious characters?
