I've noticed that people make the 'surface of the sun' temperature comparison a lot

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
fascinating range
Stove (while being used): 200°C to 300°C when in use.
Core of the Earth: In general, temperatures range from about 4,400°C (7,952°F) to about 6,000°C (10,800°F)
Surface of the Sun: approximately 5,500°C (9,800°F)
Core of the Sun: The Sun’s core is where nuclear fusion occurs, converting hydrogen into helium. The temperature at the Sun’s core is an astonishing 27 million°C (15 million°F) It’s the hottest part of our solar system.
Random Examples:
What do you cook at 300C in your stove ? That seems more a ‘burn everything’ temperature than ‘my meal is cooked’ temperature.
some cookies, pastry, etc. Small food objects usually require higher temps to cook better, while bigger ones like pizza are best cooked at a bit lower temps. Dont remember exactly why because I didnt like the subject lol
27million°C is only 15million°F???
Fahrenheit is a weird system
I don't know there was some conversion from celsius to farenheit like (9/5)*(°C) + a number
So farenheit should be bigger than celsius for millions afaik. Maybe the poster was mistaken?
I tried to convert online and this was the result: 48600030(48million)
