What generates temperatures five times hotter than those found at the sun's surface?

A lightning bolt generates temperatures five times hotter than those found at the sun's surface. Lightning is a powerful electrical discharge that occurs during thunderstorms. It can heat the surrounding air to temperatures of around 30,000 kelvins (53,540 degrees Fahrenheit), which is hotter than the surface of the sun. This intense heat is caused by the rapid movement of electrical charges through the air, creating a plasma channel that releases enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
