While our solar system’s gas giants are far from the sun, the core of a gas giant is likely to be incredibly hot–Jupiter’s is estimated at around 43,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Most of the gas giants found by exoplanet hunters are hot Jupiters, massive gas giants with temperatures of ~1,000–2,000 Kelvin. TOI-6894b, by comparison, is just 420 Kelvin.
