The "surface" of the sun is relatively cool at about 5000 deg C. However, once you get into the energy-producing nuclear fusion area, the temperatures become unbelievely hot. Also the magnetic and gamma ray emission make the atmosphere much hotter than the surface.

Different temperatures. Working outward from the sun's core --
CORE -- 27-million degrees Fahrenheit (..14,999,982.22 Celcius
PHOTOSPHERE -- 9,750 degrees Fahrenheit (average) (..5,398.888889 Celcius..)
CHROMOSPHERE -- 7,200 to 90,000 degrees Fahrenheit (..3,982.222222 to 4,9982.22222 Celcius..)
CORONA -- As high as 3.6-million degrees Fahrenheit (..1,999,982.222 Celcius..)

Hint: How do you spell Celsius? Hint: The Sun's surface temperature is 5,778 K.

14 million or so in the centre and 4000 or so on the outside

Temperature of surface (effective) 5,778 K
Temperature of corona ~5,000,000 K
Temperature of core ~15,710,000 K
Want Celsius? Subtract 273 from each number. No matter how you cut it, it's pretty hot.
