THHN wire is moisture resistant thermoplastic allowed for use in dry and wet locations. Maximum temperature is 60 C or 140 F. Being thermoplastic it should not be handled below 0 C as cracking of the insulation could easily occur.
Cross link polyvinyl chloride RW90 (PVC) and THHN are two common types of insulation THHN wire stands for thermoplastic high heat resistant nylon coated wire. THWN stands for thermoplastic heat- and moisture resistant nylon coated wire.
It's a table that shows the ampacity ratings for the particular wire size and insulation you are using. Example: #12 THHN CU is rated @ 30amps under the 90 degree column. (#12)is the wire size, (THHN)is the type of insulation on the wire (CU)is copper. You shouldn't be using the chart unless you're a qualified electrician simply because there are many sub rules and exceptions.

For a 125 amp circuit using THHN wire, the appropriate wire size would be 1/0 AWG.
The recommended wire size for a 100 amp circuit using THHN wire is typically 3 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
THHN wire is suitable for use in residential and commercial electrical wiring applications, such as powering outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures.
THHN wire is suitable for use in dry and damp locations for general purpose wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. It is commonly used for power distribution, lighting, and control circuits.
yes
I would need more detailon your question but what i can tell you is 100' of #10 THHN eire is 8320grams with insulation and 7110 grams as bear copper wire. Now what i am trying to figure out is if that copper wire is 100% copper or not?
No, THHN wire is not oil resistant. THHN wire is primarily designed for dry locations and is not recommended for use in areas where it may come into contact with oil or other chemicals. If oil resistance is needed, you may want to consider a different type of wire designed specifically for that purpose.

The conductor can be pulled into conduit and then buried but it is not certified for direct earth burial.
