The boiling point of Gallium is 2403 degrees Celsius.
An object begins to look red at a temperature of 500 degrees Celsius.
Dark red is 650, bright red is 850, and yellowish red is 1050.

Gallium will oxidize slowly in water. It is better to use mineral oil.

The formula is 9/5 Celsius + 32.
For those with calculators, try Celsius * 1.8 + 32.
