    Hi!

    The Sun is as hot as its ever been, about 5500 degrees Celsius at its surface. It will get hotter, though -- in fact, on the way to its ultimate fate as a white dwarf its surface temperature will become several times hotter. Check out this link for more details on the Sun's evolution: http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~...a/122/feb23/LMS.html

    cheers,
    Sarah
