The Last Breath
“People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Psychologist
From a scientific point of view, here are some interesting facts.
“These sparks from the sparkler are HOT. I mean super hot. It depends on the kind of sparkler, but the temperature of these sparks can be anywhere from 1800°F to 3000°F (1000°C – 1600°C).
How hot is that? Here are some temperatures of some other things you might have seen.
- Human body = 98°F (37°C)
- Your oven can get up to 550°F, but the element (the heating part) can get up to 1500°F (815°C).
- The glowing filament in an incandescent lightbulb is about 4500°F (2500°C).
- Iron melts at 2800°F (1500°C).”
