The core is the hottest layer of the sun. Its temperature is nearly 15 million degrees F.The reason that the core is the hottest is due to the gravitational pressure.
This being said, there are individual spots in the corona of the sun which from time to time is known to be hotter than the core. The corona is an outer atmosphere of the sun (if you see a picture of a solar eclipse, the corona is typically the edge of the sun not covered by the earth).
What else can I help you with?
How hot is the sun's atmosphere?
14800 at hottest at coldest 7600
Is the planet closet to the sun the hottest?
No. For example Venus is the second closest planet but is the hottest. This is because it has a thick atmosphere and therefore it holds the heat in more than mercury (the closest planet) does.
What layer of the suns atmosphere is the hottest?

Which planet closest to the sun and why isn't it the hottest planet?
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, but is only the second hottest planet after Venus. Venus gets hotter as the thick carbon dioxide atmosphere holds the heat more effectively, while Mercury has no atmosphere to hold the heat.
Why isn't mars the hottest planet?
Because it is the fourth planet from the Sun, in the solar system. Mercury is the first, but Venus (second from the Sun) is the hottest planet. That's because of the strong "greenhouse effect " of the atmosphere on Venus.
What two planets are hottest and why?
The two hottest planets in our solar system are Venus and Mercury. Venus is the hottest due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a strong greenhouse effect. Mercury is the second hottest because of its proximity to the sun, although it has no atmosphere to retain the heat.
Which planet is the closest to the Sun. Why isn't it the hottest planet?
The closest planet to the sun is Mercury. Mercury is not the hottest planet because it has no atmosphere to hold onto that heat, so it quickly radiates that heat back into space. As a result the side of Mercury facing the sun is quite hot while the side facing away is cold. Venus, the second planet from the sun, is the hottest as its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere is very good at retaining heat.
Why is the closest planet to the sun not the hottest?
Mercury, while being the closest planet to the sun, has a very thin atmosphere, not allowing it to capture the heat. Venus has a very thick atmosphere, and therefore captures more of the heat from the sun.
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that is closer to the sun ) the hotter the temperature?
Not on your life. The highest layers of the atmosphere are the coldest, and the hottest season in the US occurs at the time when the Earth is farthest away from the sun.
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that Is Closer To The Sun). The Hotter the Temperature?
Not on your life. The highest layers of the atmosphere are the coldest, and the hottest season in the US occurs at the time when the Earth is farthest away from the sun.
What is the hottest planet besides the sun?
Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. Despite not being the closest to the Sun, its thick atmosphere traps heat, leading to surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.
Which is the hottest planet in solar system?
Venus is the hottest planet. Although it is only the second closest to the sun, its thick Carbon Dioxide atmosphere causes it to have a severe runaway greenhouse effect. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, but it has no atmosphere therefore more of the suns light is reflected back out into space.
