how hot does the sun burn?

Answer 1

Approx 2 million degrees centigrade at its surface and 15 million C at the core.

Answer 2

In the core, the temperature is some 27,000,000 degrees Fareheit or 15,000,000 degress Celsius. Towards the surface, the temperature drops to about 11,000 degrees Farenheit or 6000 degrees Celsius at the surface. Above the surface, the temperature in the Sun's atmosphere rises to a temperature in excess of 2,000,000 degrees Farenheit, so hot iron atoms lose half of their electrons. A massive Solar flare can reach a temperature of 20,000,000 degree F. The Sun does not burn in the way fire does, it is a giant continuous nuclear explosion held together by it's own gravity. Hydrogen atoms fuse together because of the tremendous heat and pressure into helium atoms, releasing enourmous amounts of heat and gamma radiation which both supports the Sun against its own gravity and makes it shine.

Answer 3

Surface temperature on the Sun is more than 10,000 Degrees F. Inside the core of the Sun where the nuclear fusion is taking place, it is estimated that the temperatures reach into the Millions of Degrees F.

The burning you mention is not actually burning as we know it. There is no flame from some material being oxidized. There is no remaining ash from the end of the fire...like on Earth. There is a nuclear fusion reaction going on which is converting Hydrogen Gas into Helium Gas. The process is something like that process going on inside of a nuclear power plant, except much, much larger and working on Hydrogen instead of plutonium.

Answer 4

that depends which part of the sun you are talking about. The temperature of the sun varies a lot. Generally on the surface of the sun its about 5500 to 6000 centigrade, but there are sun spots on the surface of the sun as well. These tend to be a little bit cooler and at the centre of big sunsopts it can be as low as 4000 centigrade. The corona of the sun can be anything from 1.5 million to 2 million centigrade. How ever the core of the sun, where most of the nuclear reactions are taking place can range anything from 10 million to 22 million centigrade.

Answer 5

From the bottom to the top of the chromosphere, the average temperature goes from 4500 to 10,000 Kelvin! The corona has a density about 0.0000000001 times that of the Earth's sea-level atmosphere. It is very hot - millions of Kelvin. Because of this high temperature, the bulk of the radiation from the corona is emitted at ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths.

Answer 6

About 2 million degrees centigrade at the surface!!

THe sun is just a really big star you know! Actually, thre a re millions of stars bigger than the sun, one of them being Betelguse. So from the millions of stars you see in the night sky, they could be millions and millions of solar systems!!! Space i s really amazing isnt it?

Answer 7

the sun is 1 million times bigger than earth.
it consumses 4 million tonnes of hydrogen per second in neuclear fusion at its core producing about 50 million degrees k
the surface however is about 6000 k
the plasma off the surface is about 1 million k
its 93 milliom miles away.
And most important I think you know this already.

Answer 8

the sun can burn to a scorching hot temperature of 65 million degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 9

I artwork out, the two interior the chilly and warm climate, and that i sweat so lots extra interior the summertime time. all in the course of the wintry climate I attempt and mitigate the load benefit, and lose something in the course of the Spring and summer season. So my unscientific wager is, “definite you burn extra energy in warm climate.”
