Would the polar regions of the sun be any different?

Question

We have never sent a space orbiter over the poles of the sun. Do you think it would be just be more of the same ball of nuclear physics we observe from it hemispheres, or could some other phenomenon like our earthly ice caps be present there?

Answer 1

This is wrong. We have sent a space orbter to observer the polar regions of the sun.

The spacecraft Ulysses of the European Space Agency has conducted the first-ever survey of the Sun's environment in space from the equator to the poles, and over a wide range of solar activity conditions. Key results to date include the first detailed measurements of the solar wind from the Sun's polar regions at solar minimum and solar maximum, the discovery that the magnetic flux leaving the Sun is the same at all latitudes, the discovery of energetic particle "reservoirs" surrounding the Sun, the discovery of interstellar dust in the solar system, and the first direct measurements of interstellar helium atoms in the solar system.

Ulysses is in a heliocentric orbit inclined at 80 degrees to the ecliptic plane, therefore it has "flown" over the polar regions of the sun.

Answer 2

ice caps perhaps not. but because the sun rotates and does have a magnetic field its poles are certain to have an "intresting" polar region

Answer 3

Negligible difference in polar regions

Answer 4

Ice caps on the Sun? C'mon dude, what're you smoking?

Answer 5

YES I FEEL IT SHOULD BE DIFFERENT AND OPPOSITE TOO....
