Both the sun and Earth both have hot cores, but those cores are different. Earth's core is made mostly iron and nickel and consists of a liquid outer core and a solid inner core. Currents in the outer core are the source of Earth's magnetic field. The sun's core, like the rest of the sun, is made mostly of hydrogen and helium. In this core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the process.

Is earth's core hotter than the sun?

The Earth's core is aboutthe same temperature as thesurface (photosphere) of the Sun. That temperature is around 5,500 Celsius.Bear in mind that there is still some uncertainty in the estimated temperature of the Earth's core.(Recent work suggests the Earth's core may be hotter than previous estimates.)Note that the Sun does not have a uniform temperature.It varies tremendously, from the core out to the "corona".The Sun's core is much hotter than the Earth's core.

No, you can not get to the center of the earth. The core of the earth, which is the center of the earth, is way to hot. It would be like standing on the sun, but though the core of the earth is EXTREMELY hot, it can not compare to the heat of the sun
