Question

Is lightning the hottest thing on earth?

Answer 1

Lightning is the hottest naturally occurring thing on (or in) earth.

it reaches temperatures of 30,000° K (scientists estimate that the earths core is around 5300-7000° K)

But, in lab conditions scientists have been able to super heat gas to over 15million degrees kelvin. (15,000,000° K thats a lot of zeros)

Answer 2

One of them....

Answer 3

Nice, Joseph :)

Yes, lightning is the hottest thing that occurs naturally.

Answer 4

no.. the hottest thing on earth is Angelina Jolie..(lol)..

oops.. just kidding..

seriously.. the hottest thing on earth is the inner core of our planet. which is hotter than the surface of the sun.

The Earth can be divided into three large sections: the mantle, inner core, and outer core. The inner core is at the center of the earth. The pressure and temperature of the earth increases as one moves closer to the center. First comes the mantle, this is a layer that is bellow the crust of the earth. This is said to go down 2,900 kilometers; it's temperature is about 870 degrees Celsius. The outer core has a very high temperature and ranges from about 4,400 degrees Celsius to about 6,100 degrees Celsius. The outer core beginnings where the mantle stops and it extends further down to the center 2,250 kilometers. The inner core is about 6,400 kilometers below the earths surface. the temperature at the inner core of the earth is at the high is about 7,000 degrees Celsius. But compared with the sun the earth's temperature at the center of the earth is only about the outer reign of the sun.

Answer 5

Close! I think Shania Twain is!  :)

Answer 6

it is externally.

lightning is 6 times hotter than the surface of the sun.

there are much harsher temp.s inside the core of the earth, though.
