Paper typically burns closer to 451 degrees celsius! Bradbury decided to go with Fahrenheit because it sounds better!
Though that has been debunked many a time. Different paper burns at different temperatures. However, it does make for a catchy title!
Great tidbit Mr. Pumpernickel. I wonder which paper has the highest burning temperature....seems like material for a new question :D
