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.

That's not how average is calculated, that would be the average if there were two particles, one 5200 and one -94. The average is the sum of all values divided by the number of values. Not the max plus the min divided by 2.
