\begin{aligned} & \text { Mean speed of the molecule }=\sqrt{\frac{8 \mathrm{RT}}{\pi \mathrm{M}}} \\ & \text { Escape velocity }=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{gr}} \\ & \sqrt{\frac{8 \mathrm{RT}}{\pi \mathrm{M}}}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{gr}} \Rightarrow \frac{8 \mathrm{RT}}{\pi \mathrm{M}}=2 \mathrm{gr} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \mathrm{gr} \pi \mathrm{M}}{8 \mathrm{R}}=\frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6400000 \times 3.14 \times 2 \times 10^{-3}}{8 \times 8.3}=11863.9 \approx 11800 K \end{aligned}
