A bolt of lightning can produce maximum temperature of about 54,000°F (30,000°C); six times hotter than the Sun, whereas the maximum temperature produced in Nuclear Reactors is half (1600°C) and the temperature in Earth's core using mathematical and geophysical models is between 5,000 and 7,000°C (9,000 to 12,630°F).
