The temperature of Heaven may be 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)^4 = 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, Revelation 21:8
says “But the fearful, and unbelieving … shall have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone.” A lake of molten brimstone means that
its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C.
Therefore Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.
Or maybe not . . . 😉
