What If Humans Tried Landing On The Sun

In 2018, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe, which is swooping to within 6.2 million kilometers of the sun’s surface — the closest we’ve ever gotten to the Sun. If we wanted a closer look, we’ll have to face incredibly hot temperatures, dangerous solar flares, and crushing pressures. At the core, we’ll find what amounts to the biggest nuclear reactor in the solar system.

What If Humans Tried Landing On The Sun

[jeiku]

Short Answer: Death.

Long Answer: Painful Death.

[Mikidy]

Everyone knows if you're going to visit the sun, you're gonna have to go at night.

[visitstothebank]

Honestly I still don’t understand how they know so much about a place we can’t even get close too.

[StarGazerJim]

Just go at night, it’s probably cooler. 🤣

[brandonvillatuya]

I've seen countless videos on the layers of the sun. Only now did I learn that it's pitch black in the radiative zone. That's really interesting

[Jan_Boris]

How can we know so much about the suns layers? It blows my mind... How do we know the diffeent temperatures at different depths?

At 1:38: “Down here, you’ll start to feel pretty lousy, because the sun’s gravity is so strong, a 68-kilogram (150 lb) person on Earth would would weigh about 1, 813 kilograms (4, 000 lb) here. That’s nearly the same as a rhino.”

We really need more people to visit the sun please stop discouraging people from visiting this beautiful place

[johnfoltz]

Sun: I'm invincible
Clouds: I'm going to darken this star's existence.

[PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

Scientists: Unfortunately, in 4 Billion years, the Corona of the Sun would engulf the Earth.

Coronavirus: *HOLD MY BEER*

[Liviu]

I'd be a total fool to travel and land on the Sun. But also, a genius to be capable to develop such a technology.

[arturarruda]

Icarus beat you to that question my man.

[thepotassiumgamer]

"We reach the corona"
Coronavirus

[Kanding]

0:30

so the sub bought the *corona* virus

[Piendo]

Is that where coronavirus came from? Lol

[varnikam.s]

I just love this channel. It is very simple and quick in giving information

[BrunoRodighiero]

Why do you use Celsius and Pounds???
Please, at least use KG as well!

[ErgoCogita]

@4:10 "I can't see" any good reason it would be pitch black (assuming a housing, lens and sensor strong enough to survive there). While distances between photonic absorption and transmission is greatly reduced in such density, it doesn't reach 0. The interface between the Sun's innards and the lens would seem to allow for at least some photons to refract through the lens. If anything, I would think that there would be no actual focus as any photons making it through the lens would be coming from random directions but it would still provide light. Of course, I'm probably wrong but I would love to hear an explanation as to how.

The Corona : A region the spacecraft can survive
The Chromosphere : Just maybe it can survive
The Photosphere : Erm, maybe if of course the spacecraft stays away from Sunspots
The Convective Zone : It’s fried up and dead
The Radiative Zone : Black Hole’s Eternal Darkness envelops the spacecraft
The Core : You’ve got to be kidding at this point…

[superiorsoldier]

Anybody remember that movie Sunshine? Remind yourself of that whenever you see this video so that your grateful to actually have a sun.
