Hard to answer? YOU? Jonahs got it right! A+
What's the average temperature of the sun's corona during a one year cycle?

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>Ok, I don't adhere to formatting requests. First, we have to determine what you mean by a one year cycle. Since, terrestially-speaking, a year is generally considered one revolution of the earth around the sun, it could also be mis-construed as one revolution of the sun itself, which is approximately 1 month.
Considering that you must be speaking of the Gregorian/Julian calendar we'll use the typical 365 day year that is commonly used now. On average the coronal portion of the sun, which extends millions of miles around the sun's surface, is at about 2,000,000 degrees Kelvin. This is with exception to coronal holes where the temperature is significantly lower. This average temperate is substantially higher that the average surface temperature of about 6,000 Celsius. Does this satisfy your curiousity?
Oh, by the way,
