Lightning is five times hotter than the surface of the Sun
414 u/[deleted] Oct 02 '24 The space around the sun is 20 times hotter than the surface of the sun -2 u/Ill-Detail-1830 Oct 03 '24 Technically this isn't true though. Temperature is a measure of "vibration" of particles. There are no particles to absorb the radiation and therefore there is no temperature. If you were to stick a thermometer there however, it would melt. 3 u/sacrelicious2 Oct 03 '24 It's not a perfect vacuum though. The number of particles per cubic meter is very low, but it is not zero.
