Detailed explanation-1: -The temperature in the Sun’s core is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius) – hot enough to sustain nuclear fusion.
Detailed explanation-2: -It has a density of 150 g/cm3 at the center, and a temperature of 15 million kelvins (15 million degrees Celsius, 27 million degrees Fahrenheit).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun’s core has a very high temperature, more than 15 million degrees Kelvin, and the material in the core is very tightly packed or dense. It is a combination of these two properties that creates an environment just right for nuclear reactions to occur.
Detailed explanation-4: -Conditions at the Sun’s core are extreme. The temperature is 15 million Kelvin and the pressure is 250 billion atmospheres. The core’s gases are compressed to a density 150 times that of water. The Sun’s energy output (3.86e33 ergs/second or 386 billion billion megawatts) is produced by nuclear fusion reactions.
