Is the sun fire or lava?
The sun is made up of a blazing combination of gases. These gases are actually in the form of plasma. Plasma is a state of matter similar to gas, but with most of the particles ionized. This means the particles have an increased or reduced number of electrons.
To get to the hottest part of the sun, you have to travel all the way to its core. In the core, the process of nuclear fusion creates temperatures of approximately 27,000,000° F. A temperature of 27 million degrees Fahrenheit is more than 12,000 times hotter than the hottest lava on Earth!
In most episodes, when lava is extruded, it comes out with an orange glow at temperatures ranging between 1470°F to 2190°F. However, even at this temperature, lava stands no match to the sun, which gives a whopping temperature of about 10,000° F.
The burning of the sun is not chemical combustion. It is nuclear fusion. Don't think of the sun as a giant campfire. It is more like a giant hydrogen bomb.
The sun is much hotter than lava. Surface temparature of the sun is 10,000 degrees F, while Lava averages only 2000 degrees F.
A supernova is the hottest thing in the universe. The temperatures at the core during an explosion skyrocket up to 6000X the temperature of the sun's core.
Using thermal mapping, scientists tracked the volcano's emissions with temperatures upward of 1,179 degrees Fahrenheit. Lava is the hottest natural thing on Earth. It comes from the Earth's mantle or crust.
No. The surface of the sun is approximately 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit while a wood burning fire is about 600 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is an electric-blue flame that has the illusory appearance of lava. Despite the name, the phenomenon is actually a sulfuric fire that resembles the appearance of lava, rather than actual lava from a volcanic eruption.
Lava won't kill you if it briefly touches you. You would get a nasty burn, but unless you fell in and couldn't get out, you wouldn't die. With prolonged contact, the amount of lava "coverage" and the length of time it was in contact with your skin would be important factors in how severe your injuries would be!
Which planet is full of lava?
Io is the most geologically active world in the Solar System, with hundreds of volcanic centres and extensive lava flows. Lava worlds orbiting extremely closely to the parent star may possibly have even more volcanic activity than Io, leading some astronomers to use the term super-Io.
Both fire and eruptions were viewed as mysterious natural sources of heat that must somehow be related. But we have made progress in understanding nature. We now know that lava (and its underground equivalent, magma) is formed, not by burning anything, but by slow heating under great pressure within the earth.
No. Lava, when being forced from the earth, is between 700 and 1200 Celsius or roughly 1300 to 2200 Fahrenheit. The hottest fire is from an Oxyacetylene torch, also called a cutting torch, that reaches roughly 3000 Celsius or about 5400 Fahrenheit.
Man-made lava is a real thing and it is created in one of the most dangerous situations known: during the reactor core meltdown of a nuclear power plant.
The sun is in the center of the solar system. It is huge and made up of extremely hot gases because of which is also called as the big ball of fire. It is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium.
The sun is a big ball of hot gas and plasma.
There is no lava on the sun, in the sun or under the surface of the sun, or anywhere in or around the sun. The sun has no lava. The sun is a ball of plasma (burning gas).
No. It's a big ball of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion doesn't create smoke, it creates radiation. Some of the sun's radiation keeps us warm and alive.
