Things on Earth being ‘As hot as the sun’

863 views

I’ve heard a few times now in various scientific fields, mainly experiments, about things getting as hot as the sun.

How is this possible? Surely if you do something and you create heat that is that hot it would melt anything surrounding it?

Would love to know how this works 🙂

Actually an electric arc is hotter than the surface of the sun. So when an outlet melts or you see a spark and metals are instantly vaporized and molten, remember the flash burn can blind you, cook you, and send so much energy into the air that the air itself becomes conductive.
