Depends on the object receiving the heat. Walk outside in bearfoot in summer. You will soon notice some surfaces are way hotter than others. This depends on how efficiently heat can transfer. Convection, radiation, conduction I think are the 3 ways.

The air temp is heated by the sun, those surfaces then the atmosphere is preventing heat escaping. A lot going into that 120F!

That is why things like climate change and urban heat islands don't need a closer sun.
