I'm curious about the temperature of the Earth's interior. Specifically, I want to know how hot it is approximately 1 mile below the surface. Can anyone provide an estimate or explanation for this?

The temperature underground would be significantly higher.

According to the geothermal gradient, at a depth of 1 mile beneath the Earth's surface, the temperature would be approximately 40-45 degrees Celsius (75-80 degrees Fahrenheit).

This increase in temperature compared to the surface, as you mentioned, poses a challenge for human habitation.

For an underground city, unless it is situated under permafrost, the heat would be a major hurdle.

Maintaining comfortable living conditions in such an environment would require sophisticated and efficient cooling systems.
