Because the rapid release of return stroke energy heats and leader channel to a temperature near 30,000 Kelvin while the surface of the sun is only 5,778 Kelvin.
Air in the vicinity of a lightning bolt.
It's not. Lightning is 30,000° Celsius, the sun is 15,000,000° Celsius at the core
sometimes. Lightning bolts have been known to be extremely warmer then the sun
The surface of the Sun is 5,778 Kelvin or about 5,500 oCThe core of the Sun is about 15,700,000 Kelvin or 15,700,000 oCA lightning bolt is about 30,000 oC so hotter than the surface of the Sun.A quasar is probably the hottest thing around, where the brightest onesconsume about 100 Suns per year.
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.
The sun is hotter than a lighting bolt :)Most lightening bolts are as hot as the surface of the sun. the inner part of the sun is hotter than a bolt though.
No. The Sun's core is 16000000 Celsius while lightning a typical lightning bolt is about 25000 Celsius. However, lightning is several times hotter than the surface of the sun.

It's not. Lightning is 30,000° Celsius, the sun is 15,000,000° Celsius at the core
For the milliseconds that it exists, a bolt of lightning is actually hotter and brighter. However, it isn't there long enough for you to notice, so in effect the sun is brighter. This answer is partially correct. A lightning bolt appears the be brighter than the sun because it a lot closer, but it's not actually brighter. & a bolt of lightning is hotter than the sun's surface & a few layers under it.
The answer to this question is technically yes, although a bolt of lightning is about five times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Although the average temperature of a lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the sun, the sun, powered by the process of nuclear fusion, uses up more energy than a lightning bolt.

Lightning strike Hotter than the Sun?The temperature of the air around a bolt of lightning is about 54,000°F (30,000°C), which is six times hotter than the surface of the sun, yet many times people survive being struck by a bolt of lightning. One man, US park ranger Roy Sullivan, was hit by lightning seven times between 1942 and 1977.The reason that heat is not always the major injury factor is that the air in the path of the bolt is ionized and expands rapidly, so that the thin gas does not contain as much heat energy as the temperature suggests. It is capable of causing localized second and third-degree burns, and burning off some lightweight clothing.In cloud-to-ground lightning, its energy seeks the shortest route to Earth, which could be through a person's shoulder, down the side of the body, through the leg, and to the ground. As long as the lightning does not pass across the heart or spinal column, the victim may not die.sun's temperature is enormous in the center compared with its surface.... lightening has temperature which lies in between the surface and center temperature of sun.......
Yes it is. The temperature of the surface of the Sun is 5,778 Kelvin. The temperature in a lightening bolt reaches 30,000 Kelvin.
lightning is 5 times hotter than the sun.
