what is the temperature of the core of the sun?

Dear Aditya,

The core of the Sun is considered to extend from the center to about 0.2 to 0.25 solar radii. It has a density of up to 150 g/cm3 (about 150 times the density of water) and a temperature of close to 13,600,000 K (by contrast, the surface of the Sun is around 5,800 K). Recent analysis of SOHO mission data favors a faster rotation rate in the core than in the rest of the radiative zone.
