Is white hot hotter than red hot?

Yes. Red comes from the lowest energy range of and blue from the highest. LMAO So when an object gets hot enough to glow it produces red light first. As the object gets hotter it begins to emit yellow, green, then blue light. But it doesn't stop producing the red light either. So when the object is very hot it is producing red, yellow, green, and blue light. Since white light is all the colors combined, the object looks white.
