isn't the surface of the sun hotter than the core or am I misremembering ?

You're probably thinking of the corona being hotter then the surface. It's odd because the corona is farther away from the center, and I think it is still unexplained as of today

The sun’s core can reach 27 million degrees F (15 million C), and the surface temperature can reach only about 10,000 degrees F (5500 degrees C), but as Hexagon replied, the sun’s corona, which is above the surface, can also reach several million degrees as well.
