how hot is the sun?

Question

tell me

Answer 1

Imagine the hottest thing you have ever experienced. That's not even close.

The very surface of the sun is 5785 Kelvin. For comparison, steel melts at 1643 Kelvin and magma straight from a volcano is usually not much more than 1600 Kelvin (and it's hot enough to set just about anything on fire). So this is more than three times that! And that's just the very surface!

The core of the sun is probably around 13.6 MILLION Kelvin. Unimaginably, ridiculously hot. Hot enough to instantly vaporize anything, shred it all to its component atoms, and undoubtedly mess around with most of the resulting atoms as well. HOT!

Answer 2

The Sun is VERY hot! The core of the Sun, or the center of the Sun, is 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Compare this to the temperature on a hot summer day, about 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The surface of the Sun is cooler than the core of the Sun. Its temperature is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's still very hot!

Answer 3

The surface of the sun is 5,785 Kelvins = 6,060.15 C = 10,940.27 F

The core of the sun is 13,600,000 Kelvins = 13,600,275.15 C = 24,512,527.27 F

Since Iron boils at 2861 °C, 5182 °F that is very hot
Titanium boils at 3287 °C, 5949 °F
Two of the elements with the highest temperature of vaporization are:
Rhenium which boils at 5596 °C, 10105 °F
Tungsten which boils at 5555 °C, 10031 °F

Which means that no known element can remain a solid or liquid on the surface of the sun, and in the core it is even worse. There the temperatures are so hot that the sun is able to fuse hydrogen.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Structure
"The core of the Sun is considered to extend from the center to about 0.2 solar radii. It has a density of up to 150,000 kg/m3 (150 times the density of water on Earth) and a temperature of close to 13,600,000 Kelvins (by contrast, the surface of the Sun is close to 5,785 Kelvins (1/2350th of the core)"

Answer 4

The sun is made up of layers. Each part differs in temperature with the hottest part of the sun located in the center. The center of the sun is called the core. Temperatures in the core reach 18 million degees Fahrenheit.

One important layer of the sun is called the photosphere. This is the visible surface of the sun. The temperature here is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. On the surface of the sun, there are sunspots. These sunspots are slightly cooler and appear dark in color. Sunspots are believed to be about 8,000 degrees Fahrenheit................

Answer 5

Lightning is hotter than the surface of the Sun

Answer 6

the surface of the sun is 10,000 degrees F. The core is much hotter.

Answer 7

I hear it's hot enough to fry an egg on its surface

Answer 8

98 degrees

Answer 9

Too hot to hold!

Answer 10

Real hot.
