      At the core it is 15 million degrees Celsius or 27 million degrees Farenheit.

      Very… Too hot for anything to be in there I’d imagine. But in number terms, 15,000,000 Degrees Centigrade.

      Yep, 15 million degrees as the others said. It’s only hot enough to make elements up to the size of iron though. All the rest must have come from other stars exploding/ comets etc in the past.
