How close could you get to the sun before getting vaporized?

Answer 1

By "vaporize" I assume you mean to turn into a vapor....boil away if you will.

There is no set boundary you cross on the way to the sun where an object will vaporize. As you approach the sun, the amount of energy being absorbed increases as one gets closer. The amount of energy received will determine just how much the object's temperature will rise.
For an object to boil, the material making up the object must reach its boiling point (some finite temperature under a given pressure). However, even at temperatures below the boiling point, the object's molecules can still make the transition from the solid or liquid phase into the vapor phase of matter.
Also, even though an object may be at or beyond the point which its temperature is sufficient to boil, it can still get closer since as the object boils, its temperature is constant. Depending on how quickly the object was traveling towards the sun....it could get significantly closer as it boils away.

It is not as if you simply explode into a ball of gas or go up in a puff the closer you get to the sun....it is a much more gradual process which involves the object absorbing a substantial amount of heat the close one gets.

Answer 2

This is impossible. Things do not sublimate simply because of exposure to high temperatures; one must also consider pressure.

Second, as you approached the sun, you would begin melting, if not catch on fire before you could "vaporize."

Answer 3

When you sweat, you vaporize already.

Answer 4

A lot closer if you go at night!

Answer 5

I don't know but I wouldn't go in the daytime!!! lol
