Just one small hitch: if there was an atmosphere in space dense enough to carry sound, the earth would burn up in minutes.

And apparently it would be quite loud during the burning!

Well yeah, I wouldn’t expect people and other animals to be quiet while the entire planet is burning up.

The planet could simply exist further back from the sun where the R^2 property renders the energy more diffuse.
