Some things you should know!: Hydrogen atoms get compressed and fuse together creating helium, drops below 3.5 million degrees. This is the nuclear fusion. The heat and light of the sun can get about 3.5 million degree’s F as it cools, loosing heat and radiation, matter is blown off as the solar wind!
