As a Matter of Fact
Temperature plays a key role in helping God’s creation to function well. Too hot or too cold? These temperature facts are just right.
- Your body keeps itself at the right temperature through thermoregulation. When it’s hot, you sweat to cool down. When it’s cold, you shiver to warm up.
- The temperature determines a flame's color. A red flame is 1,112–1, 800ºF. Orange fire is near 2,000ºF. A blue flame can be over 4,500ºF.
- Water boils at 212ºF (100ºC) and freezes at 32ºF.
- Sleeping in a cool room (60–68ºF) helps you sleep better.
- Countries around the world use three scales to measure temperature—Kelvin (K), Celsius (SEL-see-us) (ºC), or Fahrenheit (FEH-run-hite) (ºF).
- The coldest air temperature recorded on earth was -128.5ºF in Antarctica.
- Absolute zero Kelvin is the coldest possible temperature—equal to -459.69ºF!
- The hottest air temperature recorded on earth was 134.1ºF in Death Valley, California.
The sun's core measures around 27,000,000ºF.
The coldest parts of outer space can get down to -453ºF!
