Nature Story: From absolute zero to absolute hot - an amazing trip through the Universe

Broaden your understanding of extreme temperatures and find out those of absolute cold and absolute hot.

What do we know about temperature limits in the Universe? All we know is that usually we feel cold at -4°F (-20°C) and suffer from heat at 95°F (+35°C).

#1: Absolute zero. The lowest possible temperature

#2: The coldest planet in the Solar System - Uranus

#3: The average temperature of the dark side of the Moon

#4: The lowest temperature recorded on Earth. "Vostok" research station, Antarctica.

#5: The average temperature in January in the coldest settlement on Earth, Oimyakon, Russia

#6: The lowest operating temperature of cell phones

#7: The melting point of ice

#8: Normal human body temperature

#9: Optimal temperature for a soft-boiled egg

#10: Highest temperature on Earth. The Lut Desert.

#11: The boiling point of water

#12: Maximum temperature of a candle fire

#13: Temperature of volcanic lava upon eruption

#14: Temperature of the Sun's surface

#15: Earth's core temperature

#16: Surface temperature of Sirius (a star system and the brightest star in the Earth's night sky)

#17: Temperature of the Sun's core

Nature Story: 27 000 032°F (15 000 000°C)

#18: Temperature of the 10-second-old Universe

Nature Story: 1 800 000 032°F (1 000 000 000 °C)

#19: Absolute hot, when laws of physics are not applicable

Nature Story: 2,6 * 10`(32) °F (142 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000°C)

Temperature at which paper burns, Fahrenheit 451

Richard Ashcroft, I think you need the minus sign next to both numbers for your statement to be true. -40degrees C = -40degrees F

Chandra Morgan-Henley, I know--the female side of our family always runs lower...97.3, etc.

Terry Masterson, ..."F is the abbreviation for Fahrenheit: 32°F (no spaces, no period); 0°C (32°F). In a temperature written with a degree symbol, use a comma only with five digits or more. Do not use degree or degree symbol with kelvin: 3K or 3 kelvins. TEMPERATURES - National Geographic Style Manual..."

Terry Masterson, 98.6 has been found to be incorrect for most people using modern technology.

Terry Masterson

Please remember you don't put a comma in the tempertature...you use a period and whatever happened to 98.6 for body temp?

johnpburkhardt, The Lut Desert, widely referred to as Dasht-e Lut is a large salt desert located in the provinces of Kerman and Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran.

I submitted a question regarding absolute temperature, using both Celsius and Fahrenheit but was rejected as judged not to be trivia!!!! Tried another question which also got rejected, so gave up. So now we get questions that are an insult to the site’s members!
