We tend to think of the sun as something unreachable out in space, and lightning as something we might encounter in everyday life—separate things that are far apart.

The sun’s surface temperature is about 6,000°C, while lightning is reported to reach roughly five times that—around 30,000°C.
Unlike the ever-burning sun, lightning is a brief phenomenon, but the fact that it can bring heat more intense than the sun’s surface is truly frightening.
