We often discuss how cold or hot something is, this brief article on temperature might interest you.

Higher temperatures can reach extreme levels.

The core of the Sun can get as hot as 15 million degrees Celsius or 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, which is still relatively modest compared to the higher temperature scale.

Cold temperatures are more relatable. The lowest recorded temperature on Earth’s surface was at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica, a frigid -89.2 degrees Celsius or -128 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, it can get much colder in the distant reaches of outer space.

The dwarf planet Pluto, much farther from the Sun than any of the planets in the Solar System, has surface temperatures that can drop as low as -240 degrees Celsius or -400 degrees Fahrenheit.

But it doesn’t stop there ,  absolute zero is the lowest temperature possible, at -273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
