Another heatwave life protip, put damp towels in the freezer and then sleep under them instead of a blanket. Use more than one so you can rotate out. Rolling them up will maximize freezer space, but I've also just wadded them in there as well.

If the foil gets warm, it's heating up the space like a small radiator, right?
Yes but by reflecting >95% of the light, it does not get nearly as warm as what the light would otherwise shine on (typically gets dispersed all over the room, very little gets back out the window). Also, if placed outside a multi-layer window (which you should or the window may overheat and crack), the heat exchange to the inside via convection/conduction is stopped, only radiation remains, and the 80°C foil radiates way less than the 6000°C sun.
I don't think it has enough mass to do much. Outside would be better, but it's probably reflecting more than it's absorbing and reradiating
Just get a roller shutter. I have a similar roof window and mine was like €40 with some DIY, which was years ago and has saved me tons of headache
Roller Shutter: €40 (at some point in the past)
Tin foil: €2 for a 10m roll.
I have one on another window but it's dark blue and turns out that heats the space up even more so I did this as a short term solution.
Also the other comment was kinda right; it was the only way to keep the sun out in prison, although I'm out now.
What about the neighbor getting a sun blast into his face? skill issue
they should thank me I've not made it into a parabolic mirror
Archimedes, no!
Nah the window is pointed up, it'll just blind pilots instead.
Fuck em.
*Foils entire roof*
Birds actually hate it. It blinds them. They'll shit all over your window.
I've heard a similar thing with plastic cling wrap. Tape it to the window frame with double-sided tape and use a hairdryer to further seal it to get that double pane window effect.
Or get the plastic wrap kit at home depot to avoid all that measuring and fusing them together
