13 gru 2023 · From the fiery depths of its core to the outermost reaches of its corona, here are the temperatures, from millions of degrees in Kelvin to the more comprehensible Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. The hottest part of the Sun is the core: 15 million K; ~15 million ° C; 27 million ° F.
The temperature in the Sun's core is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius) – hot enough to sustain nuclear fusion. This creates outward pressure that supports the star's gigantic mass, keeping it from collapsing.
The temperature at the surface of the Sun is about 10,000 Fahrenheit (5,600 Celsius). The temperature rises from the surface of the Sun inward towards the very hot center of the Sun where it reaches about 27,000,000 Fahrenheit (15,000,000 Celsius).
14 kwi 2024 · Even though the photosphere is commonly called the surface, it is actually the first layer of the Sun's atmosphere. This 250-mile-thick section registers at about 10,000 °F (5,500 °C), a fraction of the core's inferno, but still incredibly hot.
15 lut 2022 · Planetary surface temperatures tend to get colder the farther a planet is from the Sun. Venus is the exception, as its proximity to the Sun, and its dense atmosphere make it our solar system's hottest planet. The mean temperatures of planets in our solar system are: Mercury: 333°F (167°C) Venus: 867°F (464°C) Earth: 59°F (15°C)
15 sty 2014 · Arranged in layers, the sun varies in temperature: It is hottest at its center, and cooler in its outer layers — until it strangely reheats at the fringes of the sun's atmosphere.
