How Close Can You Get To The Sun And Survive

Показать описание

How close could a person / you / astronaut / astronauts get to the sun, and survive?

Of all the bodies in our solar system, the sun is probably the one we want to give the widest berth.
It gushes radiation, and even though its surface is the coolest part of the star, it burns at about 9,940°F, hot enough to incinerate just about any material.
As such, there are no plans to send a manned mission in its direction anytime soon, but it can't hurt to figure out at what distance a person would want to turn back.
In this video, we are going to look at how close a person / astronaut / astronauts could get to the sun, and survive.

never mind getting close to the Sun, I cant even get close to a light bulb without not burning my hand lol

This doesn’t explain why we could theoretically get that close. The temperature of the moon at ~90 million miles away gets over 200 F. Mercury, with a no significant atmosphere (which is why Venus is hotter) gets up to 800 F while being ~30 million miles away from the sun. Yet our astronaut can venture to close to 3 million miles of the sun before hitting the limits of the spacesuit at a relatively low 250 F, almost the same temperature as those who spacewalked in orbit or the Apollo astronauts on the moon. In other words, the same astronaut standing on the sun facing side of the moon at its equator will experience virtually the same temperature as he/she would at 3 million miles from the sun.
Is this because the astronaut is a far smaller object than the planets / our moon that they won’t absorb any significant heat from the being on the moon to well within the orbit of Mercury? Does the spacesuit dissipate heat so efficiently that there is no difference being at over 90 million miles away to 3 million miles?

This video makes us feel like moths trying to get close to the light in this case the sun....almost like Icarus

I just knew a reference to Sunshine would come in 😭

Can you make a video about how to establish settlements on the sun? :D

When do you think nasa will live on the sun?

So the void of space cools the sun's Rays before they get to Earth? What's absorbing the heat?

At 52 how would an astronaut be dehydrated

Optical mirror shield can block a light and some of the heat, but wont do sh.t about a radiation right? So you need a minimum 1 meter thick (even more i guess) lead shield plus the mirror to bounce sun rays...with that surface of the mirror plus HEAVY lead you get a mass that is impossible to even build not to mention lifting in the space...btw melting temp of the lead is only 327, 5 °C . I don't know mby it's a myth but i heard than only 1m of lead can protect you from any radiation.. science is advancing so there's mby better and lighter materials than a lead. If there is, then we should start building a shield in the orbit to slow down global warming, better than a giant mirror to reflect a sunlight (Russian idea i think)
