Lightning is pure electrical energy that doesn't have an inherent temperature, but as the electrical current forces its way through the atmosphere, it encounters air's poor conductivity, creating massive resistance that violently heats the surrounding air into a plasma state reaching approximately 50,000°F (27,760°C)—five times hotter than the Sun's surface. This sudden, extreme thermal expansion causes the explosive shockwave we hear as thunder.
