The sun’s core can reach 27 million degrees F (15 million C), and the surface temperature can reach only about 10,000 degrees F (5500 degrees C), but as Hexagon replied, the sun’s corona, which is above the surface, can also reach several million degrees as well.
Comment on I've noticed that people make the 'surface of the sun' temperature comparison a lot

isn’t the surface of the sun hotter than the core or am I misremembering ?

You’re probably thinking of the corona being hotter then the surface. It’s odd because the corona is farther away from the center, and I think it is still unexplained as of today
