Hotter Sun facts
While investigating facts about Hotter Sun, I found out little known, but curios details like:
There is a galaxy-eating fireball 3 MILLION lightyears in diameter and hotter than the center of our Sun out there.
35 nations are coming together in France to create a fusion reactor that will be 10 times hotter than our Sun(150 million °C) and will be able to output 500 megawatts of fusion power. The current record fusion power output is only 16 MW.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 50 of the best facts about Hotter Sun I managed to collect.
-
Although Mercury is closest to the sun, it is not the hottest planet in our solar system. Venus is hotter due its atmosphere trapping the heat.
-
Lightning can heat the surrounding air to as hot as 50,000 °F, three time hotter than the surface of the sun. As the super heated air cools, it produces a particular vacuum. The rapid contraction and expansion of this air is what causes thunder.
-
The center of the Earth is hotter than the surface of the sun yet the pressure is so great (3.5 million times surface pressure) that at the inner core, even at that temperature, iron solidifies.
-
An electrical arc flash, can reach up to 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Which is about four times hotter than the surface of the sun.
-
The hottest man-made temperature ever recorded was hotter than a supernova and the sun's core, combined...
-
The Corona (area around the Sun) is hotter than the surface of the Sun, seemingly violating the laws of thermodynamics, and scientists don’t know why.
-
A bolt of lightning is 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
-
The sound of thunder is caused by lightning (which is hotter than the surface of the sun) temporarily superheating the air so that the air moves so fast it breaks the sound barrier. Thunder is a "sonic boom".
-
Some countries such as New Zealand and Australia have higher rates of skin cancer due to the level of exposure to the sun's rays, which are stronger and hotter in these areas of the world.
-
The atmosphere around the sun (sun's corona) is 200 times hotter than the surface of the sun and no one knows why
What is true about hotter sun?
You can easily fact check it by examining the linked well-known sources.
The hottest man-made temperature ever achieved is around 5.5 trillion degrees Celsius (952 million times hotter than the Sun's surface), by physicists at the LHC in 2012.
Earth's core is hotter than the surface of the Sun. - source
The Large Hadron Collider Creates Temperatures 100,000 Times Hotter than the Center of the Sun - source
The cloud cover regions of Jupiter reach temperatures of -145 C, and its core reaches temperatures as high as 35,700 C --- hotter than the surface of the Sun
A lightening bolt is hotter than the surface of the sun, about 5X hotter. - source
Pouring a colossal amount of water on the Sun wouldn't extinguish it, it will instead result in a heavier, hotter and brighter Sun of different color.
Highest temperature ever achieved by humans is 4 trillion degrees Celsius, 250,000 times hotter than the center of the sun.
The center of Jupiter, 5 Earth widths from its edge, is hotter than the surface of the sun, with pressures 2 million times that of Earth.
Lightning can reach temperatures 5 times hotter than the sun
Lightning can heat the air around it to a temperature of 50,000°F— 5x hotter than the surface of the Sun.
The core temperature of Jupiter is likely hotter than the surface of the sun
