I have heard that the centre of the Earth is hotter than the sun, and it is the place where hell is. What are your opinions on this?

Actually I think there was something on the Discovery Channel recently, I think it was a take off from Jules Verne's, "A Journey to the Center of the Earth," where they spoke of the temperature of the center of the Earth approaching the temperature of the sun's surface, around 14,000 degrees Fahrenheit I believe?Originally posted by Dissident Dan
If the center of the Earth was hotter than the Sun, then I thnk that there would be nuclear reactions taking place down there would be doing some funky things to the surface...you know, anywhere from your constant volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to a jumble of exploding pieces, to making it gaseous.

Where is the plasma located? On the surface or elsewhere? I have a hard time believing the Discovery Channel would say something as erroneous as this? Not unless I didn't hear it correctly?Originally posted by maximus
the temperature of the plasma in the sun is over 100 million degrees.

most superstitious legends say it is hell in the center of the earth.
and Jesus was probably burned there now.

hey, did you know that scientists know exactly the temperature of hell? it's the temperature at which brimstone will remain a solid!
arrow said:Hell IS a religious topic (and a reality) that can be supported from the Bible (Romans 20:13-15.)
-Job- said:I'd rather be wrong and be lost for all eternity than be the kind of person for whom wrong and right are determined by how much he/she loses when wrong, or gains when right.
Only a person who sticks to his beliefs can be a good person, because right and wrong don't have market value and hence they don't fluctuate, so your ability to cope with market changes by picking the one of the two that goes for the higher market value is guaranteed to have you pick wrong a good many times. Or maybe god is so foolish that he can't see that.
The center of the earth is hotter than the sun because the earth's core is made up of a combination of hot molten rock and metal, while the sun's core is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium gas. The earth's core also experiences more pressure, causing the temperature to rise.
The center of the earth has an estimated temperature of around 5,400 degrees Celsius, while the surface of the sun has a temperature of around 5,500 degrees Celsius. However, the temperature at the core of the sun can reach up to 15 million degrees Celsius due to nuclear fusion reactions.
No, it is not safe to go to the center of the earth. The extreme heat and pressure would make it impossible for any living organism to survive. Additionally, the earth's core is about 6,371 kilometers below the surface, and it is not physically possible for humans to travel that far.
The center of the earth will eventually cool down, but it will take millions of years for this to happen. The earth's core is constantly generating heat due to radioactive decay and the release of energy from the earth's formation. However, over time, this heat will dissipate, and the earth's core will cool.
Scientists use various methods to estimate the temperature of the earth's core. One method is by studying the seismic waves that travel through the earth's interior. These waves behave differently depending on the temperature and composition of the materials they pass through, allowing scientists to make inferences about the earth's core. Additionally, scientists can also use mathematical models and experiments to estimate the temperature of the earth's core.
