Which is hotter magma or lightning?

The air around a stroke of lightning can peak at 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the surface of the sun is around 11,000 degrees. Meanwhile, magma can reach temperatures near 2,100 degrees. Earth's air is a very poor conductor of electricity, and so it gets very hot when lightning passes through it.
