Center of the Earth?

Question

How hot is it in the center of the earth?
How hot is the sun?

Answer 1

The center of the earth is 4,000 C. The core of the sun is marginally warmer, on the order of 15,000,000 C.

Answer 2

The Earth has a diameter of 7,926 Miles. That means that with a radius of half of that, 3,963 Miles, the center of the Earth is 3, 963 Miles beneath your feet. Since the Earth's crust is composed of silica materials and rock resting upon a core of molten iron and other metals there is a vast amount of weight pressing down upon the core of the Earth from all directions. Pressure produces heat. In the case of the center of the Earth we can predict that the temperature is on the order of several millions of degrees F. I was unable to come up with a reference that gave
a more specific estimate of the actual temperature of the Earth's core.

The Sun has a diameter of 864,900 Miles. It's radius would be half of that, or 432,450 Miles. It is mainly
comprised of hydrogen and helium in gas form, liquid
form, and a molten, almost metallic form deep in the center of the mass. The surface temperature of the Sun
is 9,930 Degrees F. All of that heat results from the fusion of hydrogen gas into helium under intense pressure. The nuclear fusion process gives off heat and a broad spectrum of light is emitted which include X Rays, Gamma Rays, etc. The core of the Sun can be expected to be far hotter than the roughly 10,000 degree F. surface temperature. Ian Ridpath's Book, ASTRONOMY, suggests that the Sun's core temperature is on the order of 27,000,000 degrees F. (27 Million Degrees F.)

Answer 3

The Center of the Earth is at a temperature of 5000-6000 degrees Celsius, more than 9000 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Sun's core temperature is over 10 million degrees Celsius, more than 18 million degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 4

The sun is very very hot and the center of the earth is very very hot. But if you really want to find out...there's only one way to do it.

Answer 5

Center of the Sun is a few million degrees and the center of the earth is a few thousands. If you need exact values, you need to do the research.

Answer 6

The centre of the Earth - thought to be around 5,000-6,000 Celsius, although no one's ever popped down with a thermometer to check.

The Sun - Photosphere (the part of it we can see) is around 6,000 celcius. Sunspots on the Photosphere are around 4,000 celcius.

Centre of the Sun is around 15,000,000 celcius.

Answer 7

Hot yes,under presure yes, totally solid dont think so. keep in mind the temp required to turn iron and nickle to vapor you can still compress vapor.so the very core could be high preasure iron vapor. just a thought.

Answer 8

wikipedia has tons on Earth Statistics :)

Answer 9

HOT AZZZZZZZZZ HELL oop's sorry 4 the cap's

Answer 10

SOOOOO researchable - get to it.
