13 gru 2023 · In Celsius: About 1 million to 3 million °C. In Fahrenheit: Around 1.8 million to 5.4 million °F. The corona’s higher temperature than the photosphere is a subject of scientific study. One theory is that magnetic waves carry energy from the Sun’s surface to its outer layers, heating the corona.
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).
15 sty 2014 · Arranged in layers, the sun varies in temperature: It is hottest at its center, and cooler in its outer layers — until it strangely reheats at the fringes of the sun's atmosphere.
By contrast, the Sun's surface temperature is about 5800 K. Recent analysis of SOHO mission data favors the idea that the core is rotating faster than the radiative zone outside it. [60]
Different parts of the Sun have different temperatures. In the center, the core of the Sun is around 15,000,000°C (27,000,000°F). Most of the "surface" of the Sun (AKA the photosphere) is a lot cooler—around 5,500°C (10,000°F). Sunspots can be a little less hot, around 4,000°C (7,300°F).
14 kwi 2024 · Just as with our blue planet, the hottest part of the Sun is its core. Here, nuclear reactions fuse hydrogen into helium, producing temperatures as high as 27 million degrees °F (15 million °C) in the process.
