    It varies based on the temperature of the volcanic gasses, the type of rock, the altitude, and how long it's been out of the volcano.

    It depends on the rock type (the lava type). The ash is mostly coming from quick-frozen lava splatter so it starts at somewhere around 1000 degrees C (plus or minus a couple hundred degrees depending on composition). Way hot, too hot for life.

    Hot, Damn Hot. Which is good if you want to cook eggs, but not so nice if it lands on you.
