This could possibly be the Stupidest Question I've ever seen on this Site!???

The sun is a star burning at a very very hot temperature (that I won't list). The earth rotates, which means about half the time we are facing away from the sun, creating night as we know it. However, on the other side of the world, it is day. The sun never goes "out."
The day it runs out of energy it will turn into a white dwarf, not a black hole like some have said. The sun isn't massive enough to turn into a black hole. It will still be VERY very hot (several thousand degrees kelvin) when it becomes a white dwarf, in which you can still not land on. When it "red dwarfs" (exploads to a huge size), it will not reach outside our solar system. It will probably incinerate the first few planets, but won't reach out past Pluto (which is about 34 times as far away from the sun as we are. We are 93 million miles away. Do the math) because that would be a huge friggen star.
so, no, we cannot land on the sun at night. Not now, or for at least another 110 billion years or so. Then there will be no sun...

Actually, I'm pretty sure you could land on the sun at night. Because it would be night, which evereyone knows means the sun isn't shining. So I can only assume that it wouldn't be very hot either. You would have to make sure your spaceship left the sun before daytime, or you could be in a bit of trouble--you would probably burn up. Being on the sun during the daytime would probably be like being in an over or something. But if you were to stand at LEAST a few feet away from the sun during the daytime and wear a LOT of sunscreen, you could probably roast marshmellows and get a pretty decent suntan.
I'm not a scientist or anything, but logically this seems like it's how it would work.

No the sun does not go out at night. What is night to us is day to the people at the other side of the world.

Nope.
When you are there it would be now and in that now using the sun as the determinant for day and night it is always day there, in that "now".
All this assuming of-course that you could actually achieve the deed of "landing" on the sun.

Sun is 24/7. Because of earths rotation we go under the earths shade during night.

When it eventually becomes night on the sun -- after it has burned out -- then yes you will be able to land there...but it will be a small, extraordinarily dense black rock. It will have expanded to well beyond our solar system incineratring everything in its wake before collapsing on itself.

No, we can't because the sun is still a shining on the other side of the earth, burning up hot as ever.

I highly doubt anyone EVER landing on the sun.

It may be night to you but it is still the sun there.
