lava
The temperature of lava, depending on its composition, can range from 700 to 1,200 °C.
Beyond Earth, lava can reach even higher temperatures; the record holder is Io, Jupiter's moon, where satellites have recorded lava flows with an average temperature of 1,300 °C (2,370 °F).
lava
Lava is molten or partially molten rock (magma) that has risen to the surface as a result of an eruption.
The hot, molten mass of silicates and aluminosilicates, mixed with oxides and sulfides, with large amounts of water and gases, formed lava as it rose to the surface.

Milky Way
The disk of dark matter surrounding the Milky Way is about 2 million light-years in diameter.
It interacts with visible matter only gravitationally and remains invisible and undetectable in any other way. It is estimated that 90 percent of the mass of the Milky Way is dark matter.
Ganymede
Ganymede has a larger diameter than Mercury and is 5268 km.
Enceladus
According to new research, liquid water may exist on Enceladus several meters below the ice surface, and conditions there may be favorable for the emergence of life.
Milky Way
Its diameter is from 100 to 120 thousand light years.
It is therefore a relatively large galaxy, although some cosmic giants may dwarf it in size. IC 1101 is about 20 times larger than the Milky Way, with a diameter of 2 million light-years.
