Does the Sun Have a Solid Surface?
š” The Answer
- The Sun is a giant ball of plasma, not solid material.
- Its visible 'surface' is the photosphere, a layer of gas that emits light.
- Beneath the photosphere, the Sun is entirely gaseous/plasma down to the core.
- There is no solid surface to stand on ā you would sink into the Sun.
