It’s a straight up factually incorrect title. Heat is a measure of energy. The sun produces 3.9e26 joules of heat per second. So no, they did not surpass the heat of the sun.
Nah, that’s a nitpick. In common English heat is just presence of high temperatures, and there’s no specific word for thermal energy.
Also, that would be heat/time, so power basically. The sum of all heat currently in the sun would be larger, considering how slow the convection is among other things.
We’re talking about energy generation, so the distinction is pretty important. I think a layperson can understand that it takes far more heat to boil a pot of water than a match can produce, even if the match is at a higher temperature than the stove top.
A layperson would describe the heat of a campfire as being much higher than the heat of a candle, even if theyre the same temperature.
