eli5 How is it that things on earth can be “hotter than the surface of the sun”? If the sun is giving energy to basically everything on earth, wouldn’t any earth-item or organism only be able to mimic a fraction of the sun’s energy/power output?

The equation used in the measurement for the surface of the sun uses kilowatts radiating out as the coefficient. We just need to find a way to apply the more current to a material than is being radiated out of a single section of the sun…. if that makes sense.
