Sounds like a stupidly easy question to find out with a quick internet search, but it’s not.

I don’t want to know the average surface temperature, or the average ocean surface water temperature, or read another article about climate change.
But that’s all I found in the past hour.

I’d like to know the average temperature of all molecules that comprise earth, or a best guess scientific estimate.

    Higher than you think. The inner core of earth is ~5K degrees C and the outer core is ~3K degrees C

      For the record, you should probably use a lower-case ‘k’ (as in kilo, the SI prefix) rather than an upper case K (the unit of temperature, Kelvin), both in general and especially when referring to temperatures!
