The Sun (Kerbol) has an atmosphere.

Apparently, science multipliers inside the sun's atmosphere is 1, which sucks.

 

It should be something like 100 or so, just to get there.

Technically for now surface of sun is like core of sun.

Perhaps there is a way to override the solar flux output, that way it would be possible to adjust the local solar flux to the expected solar flux. Now that you mention that the sun is simulated as a point with the core temperature of the sun from the surface of the sun, perhaps modifying the suns coreTemperatureOffset property allows us to achieve it. If it does, we need to come up with a formula to calculate the offset.

edit: unfortunatly coreTemperatureOffset does not appear to have any effect

Spoiler

SunFlyingLow = #autoLOC_501429 //#autoLOC_501429 = Everything is melting, including the electronicsssss.........

After looking the ScienceDefs file, I found this unique report for the Sun, from the Materials Bay. All others seem to run off the default definition.

Also, off topic, but the Atmospheric Analyser does have several defs for non-atmospheric worlds. Some of them are quite interesting, wish we could use them on vacuum bodies...
