Nah. Not that hot. Now 100 million kelvin, THAT is hot!
C is hotter than K, and F is a mess.
F is just salty
Can we get some Fs in chat?
100 million Kelvin is 99,999,726.85 degrees Celsius. The difference is like 0.003%, a rounding error.
Also 100 million Celsius is slightly hotter than 100m Kelvin
