Notes:
  1. A = Wikipedia: Conversion of units of temperature: Comparison of temperature scales.
  2. B = NASA: Sun Fact Sheet/stellar effective temperature: The solar photosphere is that layer of the Sun from which photons can escape to infinity. It has a sort of average temperature called the effective temperature.
  3. C= Wikipeda: Standard solar model: Core temperature prediction. The central temperature of the Sun is NOT a direct observable. The value shown combines information from the standard solar model and the solar neutrino flux which is a direct observable of solar core's neutrino production.
  4. As temperatures increase in size, the difference between the Kelvin scale and the Celsius scale effectively vanishes. For example, 10**6 K and 10**6 C are usually the same to within error.
  5. For more details on temperature and the Kelvin scale, see an Exposition on the Kelvin or Absolute Scale.
  6. In yours truly's, we should just drop Fahrenheit and Celsius scale altogether and just use the Kelvin scale all the time. This is my crank idea. But no one ever listens to me.
