a lighting bolt is hotter than the surface of the Sun

The center of a thermonuclear explosion is 10 times hotter than the center of the sun. The acetylene flame on your welding torch is as hot as the surface of the sun.

From these three images, there seems to be evidence of clockwise rotation of portions of the larger area of the sunspot.

Is the clockwise rotation correct?
