| Nov 11, 2022 at 17:19 | comment | added | BMF | @SeanHolm Yeah, I thought of that, but I don't think atmospheric pressure will have much influence on the phase of molten rock (maybe if you're dealing with >1 bar, which in these conditions I doubt). Molten rock should be hotter when exposed to near-vacuum as it can only lose heat via radiative cooling, whereas in atmosphere, the air steals some of the heat in addition to radiative cooling. | |
