Great question. Yes!
In fact, the surface of the sun is ‘only’ about 5500 degrees C. The core is much, much hotter, but even that is cooler than the universe was just after the Big Bang. Temperature is a measure of how much all the atoms and molecules in an object are vibrating, so it’s very possible that things can vibrate more strongly than in the core of the sun.
The sun is considered a ‘yellow dwarf’ (although it is definitely white in colour!) This is quite a cool (cold) kind of star. Hotter stars are called ‘white’ or ‘blue’ something (and cooler stars are red). So it is not even the hottest star!
