Can we land on the Sun or would we melt before we get there?

Question

The Sun is very hot. It's not a solid, but if it were a solid, do we have anything on Earth that can withstand the surface temperature of the Sun?

Answer 1

the sun is about 10,000°F on the surface, no solids or liquids can survive at that temperature so anything we's try to send there would melt the evaporate or whatever

Answer 2

i don't think we'd have any thing natural on earth to withstand that. even the earth's core might even be as hot as the surface of the sun. if we are ever going to get near the surface even, scientist will have to invent something artificial, man made and make sure it can withstand the heat of lavas, magmas and then test it against the earth's core (if that is even possible). then take into to multiply that by how much hotter is the earth's sun is going to be.
if you're asking if we're ever going to do it in this lifetime? most probably not. maybe in 600 years or so.

Answer 3

the spacecraft that would land on the surface of the sun(if it was a solid) would have to be insulated with a material that can withstand the high surface temperatures. 5,500+ degrees Celsius.

Answer 4

No - your spacecraft will melt down... The core temperature exceeds 6000 degrees. Scientists are slowly developing Carbon/Titanium/Ceramic composites capable to bear such temperatures. We have successfully developed Plasma cutters as hot as 10,000 degrees to cut steel - they could be used to investigate the new materials.

Answer 5

We would melt even before we got halfway towards the sun let alone land on it

Answer 6

this is a stupid question if ever i saw one sorry lol

Answer 7

we would melt

Answer 8

No. None. No way.
