Actually, it is not. The Sun's core is about 28,000,000°F, but it needs to be at least 100 million to undergo nuclear fusion. There are some factors that fusion can occur there. One is density and pressure. The amount of pressure overturns the weak nuclear force which is the force that resists atoms from fusing. Another process known as quantum tunneling provides a sort of "barrier" that helps overcome the weak force and helps force the atoms to fuse.

At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the Suns core is high enough for nuclear what to occur?
For nuclear fusion.
What is the average temperature of the sun?
The temperature varies on different parts of the Sun. For rexample, the visible part (photosphere) has a temperature of almost 6000 degrees Celsius, while the nucleus is estimated to be 15 or 16 million degrees.
How hot is a nova?
The corresponding white dwarf needs to reach a temperature for nuclear fusion to occur, which is about 20 million degrees kelvin.
Is the sun hottest at its center?
Not even close. The Sun is a little (very little) bigger than average, but the "average" includes some puny stars indeed. There are stars that are up to 150 times more massive than the Sun, and hundreds of times larger in diameter, and thousands of degrees hotter. Some astronomers have observed - correctly - that the sun is about as "average" as a star gets.
What is a star birth?
at 20 million degrees fahrenheit the hydrogen within the star ignites and burns in a continuing series of nuclear reactions . the onset of these reactions marks the birth of a star

At what temperature do star begin the process of nuclear fusion?
Between 10 and 15 million degrees.
What temperature does nuclear fusion happen for a star?
A few million degrees - up to a billion or so, in a supernova.A few million degrees - up to a billion or so, in a supernova.A few million degrees - up to a billion or so, in a supernova.A few million degrees - up to a billion or so, in a supernova.

What is the Fahrenheit temperature of a nuclear weapon?
About 180 million degrees Fahrenheit upon detonation, which is some 10,000 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
What temperature does hydrogen turn into helium?
10 million degrees with a football field worth of hydrogen under a lot of pressure the process is called nuclear fusion
What happens at 100 million degrees kelvin?
You get Nuclear Fusion, which produces an enormous amount of energy. The center of the sun, for example, is near 20 million degrees Kelvin
Is the outside of the sun hotter than the inside of the sun?
Yes. The inside of the sun is hotter. The energy that powers the sun originates from nuclear fusion in its core, which is heated to about 25 million degrees. By contrast at the surface the sun has a temperature of about ten thousand degrees.
What is a nuclear furnace?
The sun is a mass, Of incandescent gas, A gigantic nuclear furnace, Where hydrogen is built Into Helium, At a temperature of millions of degrees.
What happened when the suns core got to 1 million degrees?
Nothing, it just got a little hotter. For nuclear fusion to occur it had to reach 10 million degrees kelvin.
