Thermometer are you sure is working fine ?

[MaximilianPs]

I getting close, very indeed, to the sun and the Thermometer was weird, about -30 and +40 ....

also I was wondering if it is working in Celsius or Farenight.

Last answare about the sun, i getting very close to the sun surface, did you mind to fix it to made it bun as a sun should do ?

Thnx. Max

I think it may be because the actual 'surface' of the sun is still far above the nominal altitude, crash into the sun, notice the level of curvature? You're still quite far off from the actual surface of the sun, so it would make sense.

And it works in degrees Kevin (Kevin, NOT Kelvin)

[AmpsterMan]

As for whether it is Celsius or Farenheit I don't know, but I am sure it is Celsius or its Kerbal Equivalent.

As far as heat goes, right now it is a bit of a placeholder so I am sure it will get an overhaul at some point in the future.

In fact, Moho used to be difficult to land on before 0.18 because of its super-heated atmosphere so things overheating close to the Sun would not be farfetched.

[Raikoutrio]

My landed probe on Moho reads 000.00000 on it's temperature, so i hope they do something about it.

Where is it on Moho and what season is it?

I believe at the poles in 'summer' the thermometer is at 0.000000, although any where else, I find it to be -0.000000

[numerobis]

The thermometer has long been giving weird numbers. I expect it will only be fixed when a new KSP release comes up with game-relevant physics related to temperature.

[Pulstar]

Or temperature will be biome, altitude and day/night dependent.

Can confirm this ... my own probe had the same temperature reading ...

and it was in bright sunlight, near the equator of Moho

about thermometer, is this a bug ?

where are gone the "log" and "stop display" options ?

Toggle display should stop the display.

For the log function, I've noticed that it disappears when you try to do it in a "biome" where you can't do it, such as interplanetary space. Same thing happens with the other 3 sensors.

and it'll come back if you switch away from the vessel and then return.

It's Celsius. Kerbin is usually around 20°C. Jool interior can reach over 900.

It also comes back when you go to a Biome where you are able to log the temperature (same applies for the other instruments)

it hasn't done that for me. I had to go back to the tracking station and return to get it to come back so I could take a reading.

[Hurry- Starfish!]

I sent a probe to Jool two days ago, and in low orbit it displayed a value of -400something. Something is not right here.

[vexx32]

If it's showing -400, that's technically impossible on all known temperature scales. But then, KSP doesn't have the 'limits' that normal physics does, like absolute zero or light speed.

Actually, it works in Fahrenheit: -400 degrees F is about 33 K.

[Ringkeeper]

just watch it on a normal start from kerbin . First you have aroung 20° then it goes down to -40° at around 10k high , then it goes up to 0° again at around 40k and then back down to -100° when you reach orbit...

Actually that somewhat matches reality. The Temperature drops with altitude until you reach a certain point where it starts climbing again. Then once you actually get into space the temperature is dependent on if you're in direct sun light or not.

Also the area around the Sun is hotter than its surface by several thousand degrees.

[Vanamonde]

The corona can get up to 1 million degrees, and they're not very clear about how it happens.

[MaximilianPs]

Indeed I expect to explode much earlier than 4000mt !!!

To see the vessels to be melted maybe it's too much, but "things" should happens early
