Lightning is actually hotter, it can reach temperatures of roughly 30,000 kelvins (53,540 degrees Fahrenheit). The sun, on the other hand, is eclipsed in this case -- its surface temperature is just 6,000 kelvins (10,340 degrees Fahrenheit).

No it is not. the suns core is 15 million degrees Celsius. Lightning does not even come close to that hot. Lightning is, however, about 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Has anyone ever been to the sun?
NO, just the surface is 20,000 degrees Fahrenheit. it is too hot.
Why is earths atmosphere so different from those of mars and Venus?
Venus' surface conditions are different because of the atmosphere that venus has. Its atmosphere is mostly Co2 which is a greenhouse gas. This greenhouse gas allows the suns warmth to penetrate to the surface, but is unable to reflect back out into space. Therefor The heat is trapped between the atmosphere and the surface. Because of this the surface temperature of the Venus is a sweltering 860 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the result of rapid heating of air around a lightning bolt?
This results in the sound of thunder. The extreme heat around a bolt of lightning causes air around it to expand rapidly. Then, it cools quickly and contracts. The rapid movement of the molecules forms sound waves heard as thunder.

Lightning is 3 times as hot as what?
A meteor is the glowing streak in the sky caused by a rock falling into the atmosphere and burning up. Depending on the speed and size, they can reach several thousand degrees in temperature before they either explode or vaporize or both. If the rock survives the fall, it is called a "meteorite". When it hits the ground, it will be several hundred degrees, but they cool off fairly rapidly. After a couple of hours, they will be at ambient temperature, which is to say, the temperature of the ground around them.
Has anyone ever been to the sun?
NO, just the surface is 20,000 degrees Fahrenheit. it is too hot.
