Many years ago, I recall reading that “super-heating” in the corona is something of a misnomer because the gases are so rarefied in that region they lack the density to really “heat” up anything.
Is that basically correct?

It’s frigging June and last night was 43 degrees.

That looks like one of those whistling past the graveyard kinds of things. The temperature jumps from about 5000 (cornea) to a million (corona), and based on physics models it shouldn't be doing that. If low density were a factor, there wouldn't be any data to support the observation of the anomaly.
