How is possible for lightning to be 5 times hotter than the Sun?
In: Planetary Science
Because of our atmosphere. Air gets very hot very quickly, which makes the lighting hotter as it’s going through it at a very quick speed. The Sun has an atmosphere, but not in the sense of having breathable air, etc, they sort of all just combine together.
Also, the core of the Sun is around 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, so it is only the most outer part that is around 10,000 degrees
