Lightning is said to be hotter than the sun, with a temperature of 30,000°C, which is described as 5 times hotter than the sun’s surface.
All three claims lack external evidence to verify or refute them. Claim 1 states lightning is hotter than the sun. Without external evidence, it remains unverified, although generally accepted science supports this. Claim 2 describes a bolt reaching 30,000°C. Without evidence, its accuracy cannot be confirmed. Claim 3 states lightning is five times the sun's surface temperature; again, this aligns with scientific understanding but lacks specific evidence. No factual rating above 50 is possible due to the absence of verified factual evidence.
