      TO answer this I’m going to use a funny unit called Kelvin (K), this is a temperature scale similar to celsius(C), however O K is equal to about -273 C. The Suns surface temperature is a whopping 5600K – yet this is nothing compared to the Suns interior where fusion is taking place. Here the temperature is about 15’000’000K !!!
