Lava is magma that is erupted onto Earth's surface. The temperature is essentially the same, except for the cooling that may occur after eruption.

∙ 8y agoNo. The surface of the sun is roughly 4-5 times hotter than lava.

∙ 14y agoNo not even close to it. The surface of the sun is approximately 9,000 degrees F while lava is typically 1,500 to 2,000 degrees F.

∙ 8y agoNo. The sun is already far hotter than lava. Any rock or lava that fell into the sun would be vaporized.

What much the hottest sun or lava?
Wikipedia gives the range of magma temperatures as normally between 700 C and 1300 C. Lava is magma that has been forced out into air or water.
Why does a Matt surface in sunshine get hotter than a shiny surface?
Matt surfaces are better absorbers of thermal radiation than shiny surfaces, as the light "bounces" around on the Matt surface meaning more energy can be absorbed, compared to a shiny surface. A look at a cross section of a Matt surface may be helpful.
What is a sentence for hotter?
It's hotter today than it was yesterday. She's so much hotter with a tank on. It's gotten a lot hotter in here. Can we turn the air on?
Can a volcano be hotter than the sun?
No
Use temperature in a sentence?
The temperature of her body was hotter than a volcano.
Which is hotter the sun or the earths crust?
The Suns surface is about 6,000K much hotter than the Earths crust. The hottest lava can get at the surface is about 1,400K
Which is hottest lava or sun?
It depends on what is burning. While lava can be as hot as 2200 F, some flames can be much hotter, such as 3600 F or more, while a candle flame can be as low as 1800 F.It would depend. Lava is hotter than a typical wood or coal-buring fire, but some flames, such as that of an acetylene torch, is hotter than lava.
Does lava get hotter or colder?
Lava (and any other material) will cool down if it is surronded by material that is at a lower temperature than itself and heat up if the surrounding material is hotter. By definition, lava is molten rock that has been erupted onto the earth's surface. As such it is surrounded by material that is at a much lower temperature than itself so will lose heat and so decrease in temperature.
Why would lava flow faster through a lava tube than it would above ground?
The solidified lava forming the walls of the lava tube will act to insulate the molten lava. It will therefore cool more slowly than lava at the surface and so will have a lower viscosity (it will be more runny) and so will flow faster than lava at the surface.
How magma turns into lava?
its just lava when it reaches earth's serface, its magma when its still inside Molten rock on the surface is called lava. It is cooler than magma, and quickly becomes solid. This is because it is much cooler on the earths surface than inside the earth. As magma rises it starts to cool, as you go up the volcano it gets cooler by 15 degrees every 1 km. so when the magma gets to the top of the volcano it is cooled down quite a bit and turns into lava
Would lava cool quicker than magma?
yes because lava is exposed to the surface while magma is below Earth's suface which would be hotter than the suface
Why is magma hotter than lava?
Lava is magma that is erupted onto Earth's surface. The temperature is essentially the same, except for the cooling that may occur after eruption.
Is lava and magma the same?
Magma and lava are like each other but magma is below the Earth and lava reaches the Earth's surface.
Is the sun hotter than molton lava?
Yes. The sun is much hotter and even the hottest lava.
Can a rocks exist in a state other than a solid?
Volcanoes spew lava. Lava is molten rock. Molten rock is liquid.
How does lava cool on top of lava?
Lava on Earth's surface is exposed to air, which is of course much cooler than the lava. The air then carries heat away from the surface of the lava flow rather quickly. Since rock, molten or otherwise, is a poor conductor of heat the interior of the lava flow cools much more slowly and does not supply heat to the cooling outer layer. As a result the lava forms a thing solid crust. Until a thick insulating crust has built up the surface will remain quite hot, just not hot enough to be molten.
Is lava a climate change?
No. Lava is molten rock on earth's surface. It is a geologic product rather than a product of weather or climate. However, massive outpourings of lava called flood basalts have been known to affect climate.
