13 gru 2023 · The hottest part of the Sun is the core: 15 million K; ~15 million °C; 27 million °F. The coolest part of the Sun is the visible surface or photosphere: 4,000 – 6,500 K; ~5,500 °C; ~10,000 °F. Surprisingly, the solar atmosphere or corona is hotter than the Sun’s surface.
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.
24 sie 2024 · The visible surface layer of the Sun, called the photosphere, is a toasty 5,800 Kelvin (about 5,600 Celsius, or 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit). But the average temperature of the Sun's corona...
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).
16 lis 2023 · The hottest part of the Sun is its core, where temperatures top 27 million°F (15 million°C). The part of the Sun we call its surface – the photosphere – is a relatively cool 10,000° F (5,500°C).
