The temperature at the surface of the sun is about 10,000 Fahrenheit (5,600 Celsius). The temperature rises from the surface of the sun inward towards the very hot center of the sun where it reaches about 27,000,000 Fahrenheit (15,000,000 Celsius). The temperature of the sun also rises from the surface outward into the solar atmosphere. The uppermost layer of the solar atmosphere, called the corona, reaches temperatures of millions of degrees. The corona is the bright halo of light that can be seen during a total solar eclipse.

I think that because of the mass of the sun there would be a big space/time bend there.What you see as heat coming from the sun is actually a flow from the Big Bang point.The sun is probably not hot at all.The sun is more like a tunnel.I suspect that there is an ancient planet there.This planet,because of the space/time bend,could have real long days.An example would be 72 hours in the time space of our Earth's 24 hours.(note:You can star ship travel to this sun/planet by traveling to/through any sun in our universe--It is like a system of highways.)

The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F)
Solar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level)

Starting at the sun's center and going outward -------
Central core -- 27-million Fahrenheit
Photosphere -- 9.8-thousand Fahrenheit
Chromosphere -- 7.2 to 90-thousand Fahrenheit
Corona -- 3.6-million degrees

about 6.000 K on the surface, more than 15.000.000 K inside

Not as hot as me... but pretty darn.
