We can measure extreme temperatures by its level of infrared radiation.

It can also be measured by light intensity, but for this, it would be best to know what the hot material is made of.

Temperature can be measured with various probes, but this would probably not be an idea as in regards to extremes of where these probes would melt away in a blink of a second. Even probes made of Wolfram can melt.

Extreme temperatures as those deep below into the sun are not actually measured. They are an calculated estimate and represents what we believe the temperature to be in regards to todays understanding of solar activity and physics.

Scientific notation can be used to write down the measured temperature, but not to actually measure it.
