Even though water contains elements known to burn, its molecules have a unique specific heat capacity that keeps it from burning. Once it reaches that capacity, it will start to boil. If it goes higher than that capacity, then it will evaporate.
Paper cups are designed to withstand high temperatures due to their composition and thickness. The cup may char or blacken, but the heat dissipates quickly enough to prevent the cup from catching fire. Additionally, the presence of water in the paper cup helps absorb some of the heat energy, further preventing combustion.
The water inside the cup will absorb the heat energy from the fire, preventing the cup from burning further. As the water heats up, it will vaporize and cool the cup, creating a barrier that protects the cup from the flames. The water will continue to absorb heat until it evaporates completely or the fire is extinguished.
A paper cup can be used to boil water by filling it with water and placing it directly over a heat source such as a stove or campfire. The water will boil due to the heat transfer from the flame to the paper cup, causing the water to reach its boiling point. The paper will char and may eventually catch fire, so this method should be done with caution.
the paper cup cannot become appreciably hotter than the water it contains
The number of paper clips that can fit in a cup of soapy water will depend on the size of the cup, the size of the paper clips, and how the clips are arranged. It is difficult to provide an exact number without specific details.

A paper cup typically does not keep water hotter than a plastic cup. Paper is a poor insulator compared to plastic, so heat is more likely to escape from a paper cup, leading to faster cooling of the water inside.

NO
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees. However, the point at which paper burns is much higher than 100 degrees. When you boil water in a paper cup, all of the heat is transferred to the water, not the cup. When the water starts to boil, the paper stays unburnt. After the water has boiled through, there should be a small black mark on the base of the cup which can be easily removed.
we would the cup and the paper burn like when you put news paper on a bbq.

I probably wont get hot enough to burn paper if just placed over a cup, A good experiment that you can do is boil some water in a flask. poke a hole through a rubber stopper and place that in the flask. in the rubber stopper hole, Place a Copper tube that is in a coil making sure that some is sticking out a little bit. Place a bunsen burner under the copper coil. when steam starts to come out, place paper in the steam, it should scorch the paper but it will not catch on fire.

The boiling point of water is just 100 deg celcius. But the ignition temperature for paper would be higher than 200 deg celcius. So when paper cup filled with water it cannot attain temperature higher than 100 deg. Hence no burning becomes possible
A metal cup will generally keep hot water hotter for longer compared to a paper cup. Metal is a better insulator than paper, so it helps to retain heat more effectively.
