Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The core of the Sun is much hotter and much denser than its surface. The temperature in the core is estimated to be around 15 million degrees Celsius, while the density is about 150 times that of water. This high temperature and density enable the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun's energy output.
