13 gru 2023 · In Celsius: About 1 million to 3 million °C. In Fahrenheit: Around 1.8 million to 5.4 million °F. The corona’s higher temperature than the photosphere is a subject of scientific study. One theory is that magnetic waves carry energy from the Sun’s surface to its outer layers, heating the corona.
14 kwi 2024 · Just as with our blue planet, the hottest part of the Sun is its core. Here, nuclear reactions fuse hydrogen into helium, producing temperatures as high as 27 million degrees °F (15 million °C) in the process.
It is the hottest part of the Sun and of the Solar System. It has a density of 150,000 kg/m 3 (150 g/cm 3) at the center, and a temperature of 15 million kelvins (15 million degrees Celsius; 27 million degrees Fahrenheit). [ 2 ]
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).
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.
