how hot is the sun?

Answer 1

The surface of the Sun, called the photosphere, is at a temperature of about 6,000°C or 10,800°F

Answer 2

Don't forget that "hot" is made up of both heat and temperature. A steaming hot cup of tea, for example can do you a lot of damage if spilled because it contains a great deal of heat - while its temperature is not really very high.

A red-hot pin by contrast has a very high temperature indeed, but as it doesn't really contain very much actual heat, won't really do you a great deal of harm, if it comes into contact with you, before cooling rapidly.

The surface (photosphere, closely surrounded by the chromosphere) of The Sun has a great deal of heat and quite a high temperature: just below 6000º Celsius; while the temperature at the core rises to an incomprehensible 15½ millionº Celsius, with even more heat than at the surface, as it is much denser there.

The "atmosphere" - as it were (corona) has a temperature well over one million degrees Celsius and yet 'relatively' (like the red-hot pin) is not that hot because, in opposition to the high density at the core, has vastly fewer molecules to fly around giving it out. (Heat energy, that is!)

Answer 3

The Suns surface temperature is around 6,000 degrees C, in the centre of the Sun, the Suns core, the temperature is over 15 million degrees C.

Answer 4

The sun is very hot. At the core it is 15 million degrees Celsius or 27 million degrees Farenheit.

Answer 5

About 15 million degrees celsius at the core and gradually cooling outwards to the surface where it is around 6 thousand degrees celsius.

Answer 6

Bloody hot

Answer 7

i live in a hot climate and the sun is really hot here.all i can say is the sun is hotter
than you can imagine

Answer 8

Beleives me man it is HOT! HOT! HOT!

Answer 9

at least 100million degrees Celsius

Answer 10

Depends whether it's at night.
