The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed.  Our
authority is Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall
be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be
sevenfold, as the light of seven days."
Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from
the Sun, and in addition 7*7 (49) times as much as the Earth does
from the Sun, or 50 times in all.  The light we receive from the
Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we
can ignore that ... The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to
the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the
heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much
heat as the Earth by radiation.  Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for
radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute temperature of the
earth (-300K), gives H as 798K (525C).  The exact temperature of
Hell cannot be computed ...
[However] Revelations 21:8 says "But the fearful, and unbelieving
... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone means that its temperature
must be at or below the boiling point, 444.6C.  We have, then, that
Heaven, at 525C is hotter than Hell at 445C.
