The high temperature of the Sun's core is necessary for nuclear fusion to occur. Fusion reactions at this temperature produce the tremendous amount of energy that allows the Sun to shine and sustain life on Earth.

What is a stars internal temperature?

A star's internal temperature can vary depending on its size and age, but in general, the core temperature of a star like our sun is around 15 million degrees Celsius. This high temperature is necessary for nuclear fusion to occur and sustain the star's energy production.


What is the temperature of the sun in degrees f?

I'm not sure, although I believe it is somewhere around 50,000,000 degrees. The sun is so hot, that before you even got to it, you'd burn up. But without the sun to keep us warm, we wouldn't survive in the cold.The surface temperature is about 5,500 degrees C. However it gets much hotter, millions of degrees, towards the core, as it must for nuclear fusion to take place.


Which is hotter the explosion of a thermonuclear bomb or the core of the sun and explain why?

The temperatures are similar within about an order of magnitude, but the core of the sun is hotter. The thermonuclear bomb is at the temperature of DT fusion, the lowest temperature at which fusion can occur. The sun, in addition to fusing DT, is fusing HH, HD, DD, DHe-3, TT, He-3He-3, all of which ignite at various temperatures higher than DT.


What is the temperature of the outermost layer of the sun?

The temperature of the outermost layer of the sun, called the corona, can reach over one million degrees Celsius. This high temperature is due to the extreme heat generated by the sun's magnetic fields and energy release from nuclear fusion in the core.


How much degrees does a star have?

A star's temperature varies widely depending on its type and stage of life. For example, cooler stars like red dwarfs can have surface temperatures around 2,500 to 4,000 degrees Celsius, while hot blue stars can reach temperatures of over 30,000 degrees Celsius. The core of a star, where nuclear fusion occurs, can be even hotter, reaching millions of degrees. Thus, the temperature of a star can range from a few thousand to several million degrees Celsius.

What is the lowest temperature on the sun?

The lowest temperature on the surface of the sun is about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit). However, temperatures in the sun's core, where nuclear fusion occurs, can reach over 15 million degrees Celsius (27 million degrees Fahrenheit).


Is the inner core of the earths about nine hundred degrees Fahrenheit?

No, that is just a little above the surface temp. of Venus; enough to melt lead. Earth's inner and outer core is a searing 10,832 Fahrenheit, give or take about 930 degrees, at a pressure of 3.3 million atmospheres (or 3.3 million times the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

What layer of earth is 1800 miles thick and over 1000 degrees Celsius?

The layer of Earth that is 1800 miles thick and over 1000 degrees Celsius is the outer core. It is composed mostly of liquid iron and nickel. Heat generated by the Earth's core sustains the high temperatures in the outer core.

Is the inner core solid liquid or gas and what keeps it in this phase?

The Earth's inner core is solid, primarily composed of iron and nickel. Despite the extreme temperatures, which exceed 5,000 degrees Celsius (9,000 degrees Fahrenheit), the immense pressure at the Earth's center (over 3 million times atmospheric pressure) keeps the inner core in a solid state. This pressure prevents the iron from melting, allowing it to remain solid despite the high temperatures.

How many degrees Fahrenheit is the sun's surface?

i think it is close to 13.6 million kelvin that answer is ridiculous. the surface is around 6,000K


If i have 1 million shares of stock how many of those do i need to have a majority?

You need to have HALF or OVER HALF of 1 million.


What does a core of a star that has been stable for 1 million years have more of then are core that has been stable for 10 million years?

That would be Hydrogen. The star is converting Hydrogen to Helium over time, therefore the older the star is, the more Helium it contains.


What is the temperature of the core of a neutron star?

Depends on the age of the neutron star. As a neutron star no longer has any method to produce heat, it will slowly cool over time. A young neutron star will have a core temperature of about 106 kelvin.
