Its mass attains, and holds for an appreciable length of time, a temperature to be measured only in millions of Centigrade degrees; which fact accounts in large part for its utterly incredible vehemence.

Fires are at least 600 Centigrade degrees warmer than our skins but we rarely meet objects at temperatures of more than 100 Centigrade degrees cooler than our skins.
