And it shouldn't even be"as" hot as the sun. If it was even as hot as the sun everything within at least a thousand meter radius would burst into flames. Clothes, hair, grass, everything. All of the air inside of the area would be eaten up and the characters would suffocate. Irregardless of how big the actual attack was, the heat itself would destroy everything. The atmosphere would possibly burn up, etc.
Naruto likes to shit on physics and logic though, so... meh.

The temperature is about as high as the sun's, my bad.
And as for your second point, humans IRL have been able to create and sustain temperatures hotter than the sun with tech.

Correct. Even if things of such intense heat have been created, they aren't used ebcause it's far too easy to accidentally lol-kill everyone.
It says the temperature is like the sun. It is not as hot as the sun.
Naaaah, it wouldn't burn up the atmosphere. They said that about nukes. The ozone is still there...I can still breath. Dozens of tests later can't be wrong.
About 100 million K for a hydrogen/thermonuclear weapon to work..

The sun's surface temp is 6000 C and the center is 15 million C.

If Amaterasu is as hot as the surface, that's lame. If it is as hot as the core, that's awesome...it would get rather hot and do some damage.
15 million degrees is pretty damn hot...I'd expect it to cause some damage within 100-200 meters of the flames.

Yeah, exactly.If I were to say "My friend is strong like a bear," that doesn't mean he is actually as strong as a bear... it's just of way of saying he is really, really strong.
So, yeah. Not as hot as the sun.
Yes, as hot as the sun...or hotter. 😐

how come nobody got this ansy the first time orochimaru spit a sword out of his neck?

If it's canonically stated to be as hot, as the sun. Then fine.
It's not in this case, so it's not.

It doesn't say "Like that of the sun". Quit lying. Or, quit paraphrasing.It's a similie, not a comparison. You need to learn how sentence structure works.
A Simile by fvcking definition is a comparison.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/simile
As a matter of fact, it is not a simile at all, only by face value is it. A simile compares to unlike things, whereas Amaterasu is not unlike the sun, a ball of heat.
It appears you need to learn how sentence structure works my friend.
Really? So if I were to say that my friend "is strong like a bear" I am saying that he is actually, literally as strong as a bear? If a mother tells her son that if he eats his spinach he'll be "strong like Pop-eye", she's saying that his strength will literally be as strong as Pop-eye's?
No. It's imagery. Gorilla's are known to be incredibly strong. So instead of just saying "My friend is strong", by saying that he is strong as a gorilla, I am saying that he is not just strong, he is very strong. The sun is known to be extremely hot. So by saying Amaterasu is hot like the sun, you're saying it is not just hot, it is very hot. It is not literal.
And here, you copy+pasted a definition. Let me finish it for you, from the same site, no less.
simile
Figure of speech involving a comparison between two unlike entities. In a simile, unlike a metaphor, the resemblance is indicated by the words "like" or "as." Similes in everyday speech reflect simple comparisons, as in "He eats like a bird" or "She is slow as molasses." Similes in literature may be specific and direct or more lengthy and complex.
And the sun and amatserasu are not the same thing. The sun is a ball of super heated plasma created by a thermonuclear fusion and is comprised of hydrogen and helium... Amaserasu is nothing more then an intense flame. Fire and the Sun are not even close to being the same thing.
