Furthermore, how much hotter is it in direct sunlight?

Rather, being in direct sunlight and solar radiation makes the air feel 10 to 15 degrees warmer than it actually is, said Jim Lushine, a retired weather service meteorologist.

Likewise, why is the temperature higher in full sunlight? If the thermometer is kept in direct sun for a longer period of time the temperature of its sensor will increase due to direct heat radiation from sun falling on it. Therefore, it will show a temperature higher than the true ambient temperature.

One may also ask, what is the temperature in direct sunlight?

Direct sunlight can heat surfaces well above air temperature. On one late winter afternoon when the air was 54°F (12°C), shaded areas ranged from 40–46°F (4.0–8.0°C), while sunny spots were from 56–66°F (13–19°C). (NASA photograph by Robert Simmon.)

What is the hottest place on the sun?

The hottest place in the Solar System is the Sun, obviously. And the hottest part of the Sun is its core. The surface of the Sun is a mere 5,800 Kelvin, while the center of the Sun is around 15 million Kelvin. That's hot.
