The Wikipedia lists the temperature ("modeled", i.e., calculated according to what we think we know about the Sun) as 15.7 million kelvin. At such high temperatures, you don't need the exact formula to convert to Celsius or Fahrenheit; the temperature in Celsius is the same (subtracting 273 degrees won't really change anything!), and to convert to Fahrenheit, you multiply by 9/5 (or equivalently by 1.8).

Which layer of Earth has the highest density and temperature?
the core for my plato users
Will the suns temperature increase or decrease if the sun turns into a red giant?
The core temperature will increase, GREATLY. The surface temperature probably won't change all that much. And it isn't a case of "if", but of "when"; the Sun WILL turn into a red giant, in about 4 billion years or so.
How is heat made from the core?
The inner core of the Earth is believed to be composed of iron and nickel, with a dash of other heavy metals. Several of these are radioactive, and this fission creates heat. Studying seismic waves that have travelled through the core, gives us data and it from this that the above interpretation is made. The inner core is thought to be solid on account of the extremely high pressures. Surrounding this is the outer core, which is at roughly the same temperature (because of conduction), but under less pressure, is liquid. From this material the volcanic magma comes. Eventually, the radioactive core will cool down, the volcanoes will cease, and Plate Tectonics will draw to a halt.
How does height effect temperature of a place?
When you go higher up it gets colder. Then the lower you go it gets hotter because the closer you are to the inner core the hotter it gets.
What are the ratings and certificates for Futurama - 1999 My Three Suns 1-7?
Futurama - 1999 My Three Suns 1-7 is rated/received certificates of: Argentina:Atp
What temperature of the suns surface?
It's temperature hovers around 14 million degrees Centigrade.
What changes would cause the fusion rate in the Suns core to increase?
Increase in the core temperature and decrease in the core radius.
At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the suns core is high enough for nuclear to occur?
fusion
What is the suns site of solar energy production?
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are the highest.
At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the Suns core is high enough for nuclear what to occur?
For nuclear fusion.
What is suns average temperature?
The surface temperature of the sun is about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. However, there is an increase in temperature from the surface to the sun's core, where the temperature can reach nearly 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which is the innermost layer of the sun?
The suns core is the innermost portion or the photosphere of the sun. It's the hottest layer and under the highest pressure, enabling nuclear fusion to take place, which produces the energy. The suns core temperature is estimated to be around 13.6 million degrees Kelvin.
What is in the suns core?
helium and hydrogen
What are the conditions of the suns core?
v.hot
Where is the suns energy?
In the Sun's core.
Is the core of the earth hotter than the core of the moon?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
Where is the suns energy generated?
In the Sun's core.
