True or False
Lightning is hotter than the sun.
That's true! A lightning bolt is incredibly hot and can warm the air around it to about 30,000 degrees Celsius. That's five times hotter than the surface of the sun, which is about 5,500 degrees Celsius. This extreme heat is why lightning is so powerful and creates the rumbling sound we call thunder.
