53°C and 67°C.
Wow.
- seanthemon 3y agoSoon to be average temperatures, what luck!
- hksoftware 3y agoNonsense.
- yreg 3y agoIt's obviously a hyperbole. But if we once were to use these SCs to transport energy from solar farms in Sahara, it might have to operate in that temperature range.
- jacquesm 3y agoFive meters down in the desert you're under 25 degrees year round. It's the average that matters for soil temps, not the peaks. You can approximate this by taking the average air temperature and defining the surface as the top five meters. Below the 10 meter mark the day/night cycle influence is pretty much negligible (but that would be more costly).

- SamPatt 3y agoEarth's average temperature right now is ~17° Celsius. So...no.
- yreg 3y agoHave you included the insides?
- h0l0cube 3y agoBy comparison the hottest verified recorded air temperature in the world is 54°C > if the current record were to be decertified then the holder would be a tie at 54.0 °C (129.2 °F), recorded both at Furnace Creek and in Kuwait. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_temperature_recorded_on_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_temperature_recorded_o...
