What is the average temperature of a firework?

Answer 1

Black powder (gunpowder) commonly used in rockets and as a burst charge in aerial shells, burns at temperatures up to 1700oC. Pyrotechnic stars used in rocket headers and shells, if fuelled by a metal powder such as magnesium, can easily burn at temperatures in excess of 2200oC. Flash powders used to make a bright flash and a loud bang, can burn at temperatures above 3000oC.

Answer 2

The average temperature of a firework explosion can reach up to 1,200 degrees Celsius (2,192 degrees Fahrenheit). This intense heat is necessary to ignite and accelerate the chemical reactions that produce the vibrant colors and patterns we see in the night sky.
