The surface of the Sun is called photosphere . Temperature at photosphere is around 5800 K (deduct 273 from it get the celsius temperature). However, there are some comparetively cooler regions on the surface of the Sun. They are called "Sunspots". The temperature of Sunspots are about 3800 K. There are also some overheated streams of gas ejecting out of Sun into the space. They have over million degrees of Kelvin temperature. These streams of gas form the Corona around the Sun. The corona can only be seen during a solar eclipse.

Per Parade magazine 1/30/05, "The Sun's surface is about 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It rises to several million degrees at its center. A candle flame is about 700 degrees Fahrenheit."

the surface of the sun is about 10,000 degrees F.

The surface of the Sun is around 11,000 degrees Kelvin. I take this to the be photosphere which is what you see when you look at the Sun (it's optically thick so you can't see below it at the lower layers, which is good as I state below). The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero which is 273 degrees below freezing point on the celcius scale. This is a good thing however as the centre of the sun is around 16million degrees kelvin and the energy given off is high energy and very lethal to us (gamma rays/x-rays and the like) it takes 100,000 years to get to the surface and by this time the energy has been reduced to much better levels, by absorption of the photons and re-emission in a lower level in the optically thick layers (infact the vast majority of energy emitted is in the visible band, which is why we've evolved to see light in this band).

5500 degrees C. But it is a lot cooler at night. (Kidding)
