The question is confusing. Which of these questions are you asking:

1. Is lightning from the sun?

2. Does lightning occur on the sun?

3. Does lightning power the sun?

4. Can you answer something ridiculous because I'm bored?

I'm going to assume you are asking question 1.

Lightning can be hotter than the surface of the sun; it is not a direct by-product.

Lightning is indirectly caused by the sun. Let's say the sun heats up the earth and there is moisture in the air. The hot air will become light and rise quickly, creating a heat difference with the surface. This causes ice to form in the sky and positive and negative electrons to be split by the ice. So, the positive electrons will keep rising and the negative ones will keep falling. The air will become ionized, which allows charge to move more freely. If the positive air can channel to the negative air or to ground, all of the charge that was built-up will flow quickly with intense heat.
