The temperature of the sun’s core is close to
A
15 million degrees C
B
3 million degrees C
C
6, 000 degrees C
D
100 degrees C
Explanation: 

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: -Although the internal structure of the solar core is hidden from direct observations, one may conclude, from using various models, that the maximum temperature inside of our star is about 16 million degrees (Celsius). The photosphere-the visible surface of the Sun-has a temperature of about 6000 degrees C.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Core. The core is at the center of the Sun, reaching temperatures of over 15 million K. This layer is where all the nuclear reactions are occurring, including the fusion of hydrogen into helium.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is the hottest part of the Sun and of the Solar System. 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).
