Hi Gaelyne,

The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority
is Isaiah 30:26, "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."  Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation
as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth
does from the Sun, or 50 times in all.  The light we receive from the Moon
is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that
... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the
heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation,
i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation.  Using
the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E) = 50, where E is the absolute
temperature of the earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C). The exact
temperature of Hell cannot be computed ... [However] Revelations 21:8 says
"But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten
brimstone means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point,
444.6C.  We have, then, that Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.
