A single bolt of lightning can reach temperatures of approximately 30,000 degrees Celsius, which is five times hotter than the sun's surface temperature of around 5,500 degrees Celsius. This extreme heat is generated when electrons collide during the lightning discharge, creating a plasma channel that illuminates the sky with blinding intensity.
