  Something else I didn’t know before this week. I’ve done a bit of digging around and have an answer of 5 GigaPascals (pressure) and 1500 Centigrade. You’ll know that 15ooC is very hot, but Pascals are new to me. So to give you some idea, the earth’s atmosphere is around 100 kiloPascals. Does that help?
