fascinating range

Stove (while being used): 200°C to 300°C when in use.

Core of the Earth: In general, temperatures range from about 4,400°C (7,952°F) to about 6,000°C (10,800°F)

Surface of the Sun: approximately 5,500°C (9,800°F)

Core of the Sun: The Sun’s core is where nuclear fusion occurs, converting hydrogen into helium. The temperature at the Sun’s core is an astonishing 27 million°C (15 million°F) It’s the hottest part of our solar system.

Random Examples:

  • Lightning Bolt: A lightning bolt can reach temperatures of 30,000°C (54,000°F) during discharge.
  • Lava Flow: Molten lava from a volcanic eruption can range from 700°C to 1,200°C (1,292°F to 2,192°F).
  • Spacecraft Reentry: During reentry into Earth’s atmosphere, spacecraft experience temperatures of about 1,650°C (3,002°F).
  • Boiling Water: Boiling water on your stove reaches 100°C (212°F) at sea level.
  • Liquid Nitrogen: Liquid nitrogen, used in cryogenics, is extremely cold at around -196°C (-321°F).
  • Absolute Zero: The theoretical lowest temperature, known as absolute zero, is -273.15°C (-459.67°F).

I don’t know there was some conversion from celsius to farenheit like (9/5)*(°C) + a number

So farenheit should be bigger than celsius for millions afaik. Maybe the poster was mistaken?

I tried to convert online and this was the result: 48600030(48million)

They got the units mixed up but the numbers are right, based on OP’s graphic.

What do you cook at 300C in your stove ? That seems more a ‘burn everything’ temperature than ‘my meal is cooked’ temperature.

some cookies, pastry, etc. Small food objects usually require higher temps to cook better, while bigger ones like pizza are best cooked at a bit lower temps. Dont remember exactly why because I didnt like the subject lol
