Five times hotter than the surface of the Sun; the centre of the Sun is about 500x hotter than lightning!

The edges of the sun are the least dense bit – fusion occurs in the centre, and the energy takes tens of thousands of years (spreading out in all directions) before it reaches the surface of the Sun.
