1,500 degrees Celsius
1,773 KTemperature · definition
Celsius and Fahrenheit have shifted zero points. Differences are useful; “twice as hot” in °C or °F is not a physical temperature ratio.

Celsius and Fahrenheit zero points are offsets. Compare temperature differences, not ratios in °C or °F. The kelvin axis starts at absolute zero.
A little perspective
1,500 degrees Celsius is 37.85 K cooler than Molten iron.

1,500 degrees Celsius
Celsius and Fahrenheit have shifted zero points. Differences are useful; “twice as hot” in °C or °F is not a physical temperature ratio.
Molten iron
An approximate melting-temperature reference for pure iron; alloys behave differently.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked temperature is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why these numbers?
The visual compares temperature with temperature. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Temperature ↔ Temperature
- Relative size
- Temperature comparisons use an absolute difference in kelvins rather than a multiplicative ratio.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Molten iron is labelled defined reference; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
