on a missle to launch at the sun to blow some of it off it could stop globel warming from going so fast do u think it would slow globel warming down or do u think we do not have the technoligy

ok u guys have no idea what mean just blow PART of it off not the whole think and i know it does no cause global warming but it would help because not as much heat but now i understand how bid it is soo ok ty

Even if you could do that, the mass of the Sun would decrease, and all of the planets, including the Earth, would gradually move away from the Sun into more distant orbits. The Earth would grow colder, so cold that humans may die out. So if we could do this, it would certainly solve global warming. Then you'd have global freezing!

Well, first of all, you can't blow the sun up, or at least get to it. If there is a missile headed for the sun, it would blow up before it gets to it. And don't say a nuclear bomb. Most nukes are Hydrogen bombs that use nuclear fusion. That would just make the Sun stronger. It would be worse then. Second of all, the Sun isn't what's causing (ALL) of the global warming effect. It's gases in the atmosphere. A highly debated subject is to try to get rid of all the CO2 and other greenhouse gases. That will be a hard thing to do, but it could happen. Third of all, what does Relativity have to do w/ it? Are you suggesting slowing time down to stop global warming? That really wouldn't work. Slowing the sun down won't help anything. It's still emmiting heat. And last of all, if you were to blow some of the sun off, that's another sun that you would have to worry about. If it could sustain it's own gravity and not collide w/ the regular Sun, that would alter the Earth's path pulling it closer and/ or farther. To far. Well, I hope that answered you question.

Read Gary H answer.
People in general have no idea of the size of the sun, and neither do you obviously.
Not only is the sun 1.3 million times the size of earth, it is 1000 times larger than the rest of the Solar System put together - planets, moons, asteroids, comets.
The sun is millions of H bombs all going off at the same time.
The sun emits 2 billion times more energy than the energy we receive from it. That means, if you can't quite grasp that, that only one 2 billionth of the sun's output heads towards Earth. That's because, if you could stand on the sun, the earth would appear like a speck that only covers a 2 billionth of the sky as seen from the sun.
Get with the plan. The sun is everything to us and the entire solar system. We are completely at its mercy. Which means tiny changes in its output make the climate vary. It always has done and always will do.

Not really sure what you mean here. The Sun is not causing global warming - if it were, all the other planets would be heating up as well, and they aren't. We've been checking.
I don't know what you mean by e=mc^2 on a missile. That's just an equation that describes the transition from energy to mass or from mass to energy. It describes the output of the Sun's fusion.

What do you mean by, "did E=MC squared"? You can't do a formula.
As for us making any kind of change to the Sun that would cool it down, no way. The sun is MUCH bigger than Earth and it is putting out more energy than a billion nuclear bombs exploding EVERY SECOND. It would be far easier to change the orbit of the Earth to keep us farther from the Sun. And easier still to put up a bunch of orbital shades.

Well, the sun is HUGE compared with the Earth, even our most powerful thermonuclear devices won't even produce a plume of smoke on the sun's surface.
There are also more practical ways to stop global warming - cut down greenhouse gases emissions, stop deforestation, use renewable fuels etc. Launching a nuclear device into space is far to dangerous and risky.

The sun has a mass 1 million times that of Earth. We could send the entire planet into the sun, and it would have no significant effect.
How about instead we just work on cutting down our production of greenhouse gasses? This is the realistic solution.

....what? That dosen't make anysense? The missle would just go right into the sun get absorbed and probably never explode.

I don't think we have the technology to interpret what you just wrote.
