The biggest scorcher ever noted was on September 13, 1922, in El Azizia (also known as Al 'Aziziyah), Libya, when the mercury hit 136 degrees Fahrenheit. El Azizia is near the Sahara desert, so it's no wonder the place gets so hot. Temperatures have likely gotten even hotter in the actual desert, but weather stations aren't there to record it.

The temperatures of Heaven and of Hell are not given specifically in the Bible. That may be because the various temperature scales (Fahrenheit, Celsius, Rankin and Kelvin) were not created by the 1st century CE. However, there is sufficient data available to calculate the temperature of Heaven. The maximum temperature of Hell can also be determined.  \nHell's Temperature:  Revelations 21:8 states "But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." Brimstone is sulphur. In order for sulphur to be molten, its temperature must be at or below 444.6 °C or 832 °F. \n\nThus heaven is at least 80 °C or 145 °F hotter than Hell. Assuming that the glorified bodies that the inhabitants have in Heaven are as sensitive to heat as our present earthly bodies, then they would suffer greatly; Heaven would become worse than Hell. Since that cannot happen, due to theological considerations, Heaven must have some very effective methods of air conditioning to handle the excess incoming radiation.\n\n\nHeaven's temperature: Isaiah 30:26 states: "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days." One individual interpreted this passage as meaning that the radiation received by Heaven from the sun is 7 times 7 or 49 times as much as the earth does today. 1 Added to that is the contribution of the moon which would equal the present amount that the earth receives from the sun. Thus Heaven would receive (49 + 1) or 50 times the radiation as the earth does today. The Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation links the temperature of an object with the amount of radiation received. It would predict that the temperature of heaven would be 498 degrees Celsius hotter than the earth is currently. Thus heaven would be about 525 °C or 977 °F. \n\nSource:http://cas.bellarmin.edu

The deepest known point on Earth is at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, a depression in the floor of the western Pacific Ocean, just east of the Mariana Islands.\n\nThis underwater gorge plunges to a depth of nearly 7 miles! It is deeper than Mt. Everest is tall.\n\nKaiko entered the record books in 1995 when it dived almost 11,000 meters to the bottom of Challenger Deep -- the world's deepest stretch of ocean -- in the Maruyama Trench, near Guam, in the western Pacific. 2nd link:\n\n\nSee link:

Global temperature has gone through many changes, some of which were natural cycles grounded in astronomy (solar activities, changes in earth's orbit), others of which have been natural catastrophes like meteoric strikes or huge volcanic eruptions. \n\nThe rapid consumption of fossile fuels and the production of other greenhouse gases doubtlessly has influenced the average temperature and increased the rise of it. Whether it is the sole determining factor cannot be said, because all observations can only be made overlaid with all the natural factors.\n\nFor this reason, experts still debate...

Kilimanjaro carries a few titles of "highest" according to the pages...  One is highest in Africa, one as highest active volcano, and another as highest free-standing peak (no mountain range like Himilayas).  Samahani, can't find a listing that goes far enough down for a rank in peak height in the world; it's after 50 at least I think!\n\nFrom first source:  Rising to a height of 5, 985 meters, (19,340 feet) Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa, arguably the world's highest volcano and the highest freestanding mountain in the world. It also takes its place as one of the 'Seven Summits', a holy grail for climbers consisting of the highest peaks in each of the seven continents. \n\nFrom second source:  Africa's tallest mountain (der höchste Berg Afrikas) was long thought to be nothing but a legend. After all, how could there be a snow-capped peak just three degrees south of the equator? But German-speaking explorers were the first Europeans to ever see and climb Kilimanjaro—and establish the mountain's existence.\nKilimanjaro is also the world's highest mountain that can be climbed by hiking (walking), but the lower, more jagged Mawensi volcanic peak (17,564 ft) was not climbed until 1912 and requires mountaineering experience.

Europe's highest temperature: On this date (August 4) in 1881, the temperature at Seville, Spain, rocketed to 122 degrees F, the highest temperature ever recorded on the continent of Europe.\n\nEurope's lowest temperature: -67 degrees F at Ust'Shchugor, Russia, in January. The U.S. National Climatic Data Center recognizes the validity of this temperature, but the date and year are unknown

Global Warming is a natural phenomenon. The earth's temperature has gone through warming and cooling cycles naturally throughout history. The ice age was not caused by prehistoric humans and neither was the global warming that melted it. So basically, there is nothing we can do but adapt to it.

Temperature increases as pressure increases due to increased molecular collisions.  The Earth generates an incredible amount of gravity, meaning that everything is pulled towards the center of the Earth.  So at the center of the Earth is an incredible amount of pressure due to the incredibly high density of molecules moving around there, and thus the temperature is incredibly high!

Mount Everest\n\nIt is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Not surprisingly the highest point on the earth's surface is located there on the border of Nepal and China. Although the exact height of the mountain have been disputed by surveyors for many years the most recent measurement revealed the mountain to stand at 8850 meters, nearly 5.5 miles. The adventure that led to this result took place in May 1999. Bill Crouse and his crew set an expedition to find the height of this point. Six months later they returned and claimed to have found the exact measurement of the highest point on earth's surface.\nMount Everest is the highest peak in the Himalayan mountain range. People were unaware that it was the tallest mountain in the world until 1856. George Everest of India made the discovery. Plate tectonics show that the height of Everest is still increasing at a steady rate of approximately one centimeter (0.394 inch) per year.\n\nMount Everest is over 8000 m above sea level. Winds travel at 161 kilometers per hour; the windchill is often 96 degrees Celsius below zero. At such high altitudes as Everest, less oxygen is able to enter the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. The amount of oxygen usable for breathing is determined by pressure in the atmosphere. The greater the atmospheric pressure the closer the oxygen molecules. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure decreases, and air molecules are further separated. Therefore there is less oxygen that is able to enter the lungs.\n\nThough most people have recognized the highest point at Mount Everest, Mount Chimborazo located in the city of Rimobamba, Ecuador may also be considered as the highest point on earth. Although it is not as well known as Mount Everest, standing at 6310 meters it is also quite remarkable. Mount Chimborazo can be regarded as the highest point on earth because the planet is widest at the equator. The summit of Mount Chimborazo is then 3219 m further from the center of the earth than Mount Everest, making it what some consider the highest point. On the summit of Mount Chimborazo people will weigh less than any other location on earth.\n\nAs the highest point on the earth's surface, Everest has become the ultimate challenge for any determined high altitude climber. A group led by George Mallory first attempted it in 1921, however the summit was not reached until 1953 when Sir Edmand Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay of New Zealand survived the challenging task. Edward Whymper of Britain was the first man to successfully reach the summit of Mount Chimborazo in 1880.\n\nOne of the highest places you can take your car is to Ojos del Salado in Chile. This is the world's tallest volcano at about 22,560 feet. If you live in the U.S. and want some place closer to home, try Colorado. It's many tall moutain peaks make for good high altitude driving.\n\n"And then there’s the Volkswagen exec, who stands up and announces that his company now holds the world record for highest altitude attained by a stock vehicle. Rainer Zietlow, some guy who claims he’s attained fame by taking stock vehicles to extremely high altitudes, piloted a stock Toureg with the base 3.2L V6 to the peak of Chiles Ojos del Salado, the worlds tallest volcano. Guiness marks the record altitude at 19,950 feet. Perhaps VW should tag its Toureg with the title of “Best Luxury SUV above sea-level”."\n\nThe other claim to the highest road (therefore the highest place accesible by car) on Earth is the Manali-Leh route (300 miles) just north of Lahore in the Indian Himalayan mountains.\n\nIt crosses four high passes which range in height from 14,000 to 18,000 feet.\n\nAt Leh, the Khardung La, claims to be the highest point.\n\nThe link below is to a very old army map showing some of the route.\nhttp://www.myhimalayas.com

none, because the center of the earth is approximately 3000 to 5000 degrees celsius.

"Baked in an instant" is not a scientific measure of temperature.\n\nBased on previous cycles of cooling and warming PRIOR to human industrialization it is doubtful that the temperature of the planet will ever become too warm or too cold.  Ice ages come and go, periods of warming come and go, but life on earth has persisted.\n\n("will ever" in this post is defined on human time cycle. Obviously eventually the sun will die and turn into a red giant thus killing all ife on earth)

Read the article below and you start to understand how variable earth's climate has been and more than likely will continue being.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClimatologists have used various techniques and evidence to reconstruct a history of the Earth's past climate. From this data they have found that during most of the Earth's history global temperatures were probably 8 to 15° Celsius warmer than today. In the last billion years of climatic history, warmer conditions were broken by glacial periods starting at 925, 800, 680, 450, 330, and 2 million years before present.\n\nThe period from 2,000,000 - 14,000 B.P. (before present) is known as the Pleistocene or Ice Age. During this period, large glacial ice sheets covered much of North America, Europe, and Asia for extended periods of time. The extent of the glacier ice during the Pleistocene was not static. The Pleistocene had periods when the glacier retreated (interglacial) because of warmer temperatures and advanced because of colder temperatures (glacial). During the coldest periods of the Ice Age, average global temperatures were probably 4 - 5° Celsius colder than they are today.\n\nThe most recent glacial retreat is still going on. We call the temporal period of this retreat the Holocene epoch. This warming of the Earth and subsequent glacial retreat began about 14,000 years ago (12,000 BC). The warming was shortly interrupted by a sudden cooling, known as the Younger-Dryas, at about 10,000 - 8500 BC. Scientists speculate that this cooling may have been caused by the release of fresh water trapped behind ice on North America into the North Atlantic Ocean. The release altered vertical currents in the ocean which exchange heat energy with the atmosphere. The warming resumed by 8500 BC. By 5000 to 3000 BC average global temperatures reached their maximum level during the Holocene and were 1 to 2° Celsius warmer than they are today. Climatologists call this period the Climatic Optimum. During the climatic optimum many of the Earth's great ancient civilizations began and flourished. In Africa, the Nile River had three times its present volume, indicating a much larger tropical region.\n\nFrom 3000 to 2000 BC a cooling trend occurred. This cooling caused large drops in sea-level and the emergence of many islands (Bahamas) and coastal areas that are still above sea-level today. A short warming trend took place from 2000 to 1500 BC, followed once again by colder conditions. Colder temperatures from 1500 - 750 BC caused renewed ice growth in continental glaciers and alpine glaciers, and a sea-level drop of between 2 to 3 meters below present day levels.\n\nThe period from 750 BC - 900 AD saw warming up to 150 BC. Temperatures, however, did not get as warm as the Climatic Optimum. During the time of Roman Empire (150 BC - 300 AD) a cooling began that lasted until about 900 AD. At its height, the cooling caused the Nile River (829 AD) and the Black Sea (800-801 AD) to freeze.\n\nThe period 900 - 1200 AD has been called the Little Climatic Optimum. It represents the warmest climate since the Climatic Optimum. During this period, the Vikings established settlements on Greenland and Iceland. The snow line in the Rocky Mountains was about 370 meters above current levels. A period of cool and more extreme weather followed the Little Climatic Optimum. A great drought in the American southwest occurred between 1276 and 1299. There are records of floods, great droughts and extreme seasonal climate fluctuations up to the 1400s.\n\nFrom 1550 to 1850 AD global temperatures were at their coldest since the beginning of the Holocene. Scientists call this period the Little Ice Age. During the Little Ice Age, the average annual temperature of the Northern Hemisphere was about 1.0 degree Celsius lower than today. During the period 1580 to 1600, the western United States experienced one of its longest and most severe droughts in the last 500 years. Cold weather in Iceland from 1753 and 1759 c
