Does the Sun Have a Solid Surface?

šŸ’” 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 — you would sink into the Sun.
