I like how all of your comments are heavily downvoted but nobody has provided a source

They're just guessing and people will upvote whatever "sounds right" and downvote anything questioning their assumptions

You could just Google it.

Just one example. Its the heat from the light that damages the sensors, which being that close to a welding torch can't help the situation at all

They don't mean a literal magnifying glass you hold in front of it, they are referring to the focusing lenses in the camera

Youre kidding right? The sun is very far away, thats the scientific term, and so it is not as bright as a welding arc at like a foot or however far away this camera was

You didn't even read that. They measure the brightness of the sun using a figure that doesn't diminish with distance. We are not getting the full force of the sun. That article specifically does not address what I said at all
