How Hot is the sun?

Answer 1

It has many layers. The surface of the sun is called the photosphere, and gives off the sun's energy in forms of heat and light. Most of the sunlight we see is from its pebbly surface. The photosphere is 340 miles thick and its temperature ranges from 5,500 °C to 6,000 °C. It has dark spots called sunspots which are the only solar activity observable by the naked eye.

Above the photosphere the temperature is about 4,000 °C above that, the temperature rises to 27,800 °C. The region consists of hot gases in violent motion and is called the chromosphere. It displays fountains of flaming gases.

The next layer below the photosphere is the convection zone. It is 60,000 miles thick and it's temperature can reach 2 million °C. The radiation zone is directly below the convection zone. Energy from the core rebounds for centuries before surfacing, and it is 300,000 miles thick with a temperature at up to 6.5 million °C.

The core of the sun is under 200 billion times the pressure of the earth's surface. It is 60,000 miles thick and has a temperature that does not exceed 15 million °C. It's so hot that hydrogen is fused into helium.

Answer 2

Wow man, it is really hot !
We had our holidays there and at times it was hotter than the UK in july.
If you are thinking of going there, you will need factor 10 sun cream or even higher.
The beaches are great, but it is one hell of a long walk to the sea when the tide is out.

Answer 3

All the answers give the facts in great detail - so i thought id give u a bit of trivia.
The centre of the Earth is hotter than the surface of the sun.
There you go - a ten pointer if ever there was one!

Answer 4

if u want 2 know the visible region's temp-6000K
the photosphere is 5000K
temp in the interior of the sun is 20 million degrees.
that ll help u

Answer 5

Depends in what region/ layer thingy bob of the sun.

Answer 6

The surface of this burning ball of gas is 5500ºC, with the core reaching a sweltering 15.6 million ºC

Don't ask me how they know this!!

Answer 7

Starting with the core and working outward --

CORE -- 27-million degrees Fahrenheit (15-million Centigrade)
PHOTOSPHERE -- 9,750 degrees Fahrenheit average (5,400 Centigrade) This is the layer we see.
CHROMOSPHERE -- 7,200 to 90,000 degrees Fahrenheit (4,000 to 50,000 Centigrade)

Answer 8

15 million degrees Kelven, which is about 27 million degrees Farenheight + about 300 degrees more

Answer 9

not as hot as Madonna (Sun is hotter than her).

Answer 10

6500 degrees Kelvin
