does anyone know how hot the suns core is comparing to the sun itself please ???

Answer 1

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 2

The Sun's core is about 16 million K.
The deepest layer of the Sun you can see is the photosphere and that is about 5840 K.
Sunspots are cooler regions on the photosphere and they are 1000--1500 K cooler so those are about 4840 - 4440K.
The Sun's corona is between 1.3 million K to 3.6 million K

Answer 3

The sun's visible surface has a temperature of about 6,000 K. The core has a temperature of arount 15,000,000 K.

Answer 4

"The core of the Sun . . . has . . . a temperature of close to 13,600,000 kelvins (by contrast, the surface of the Sun is close to 5,785 kelvins (1/2350th of the core))."
