Can humans live on a star?

Answer 1

You are orbiting one now. Our sun is orbiting the center of the Milky Way, and it is partly the gravity of the black hole in the center of the galaxy that is keeping us in galactic orbit. There are recorded observations of stars in rapid orbit around the black holes at the centers of their galaxies. Perhaps one day we will be able to orbit black holes in space vehicles, if there is a need to do so, and if it can be done at safe distances and velocities. You wouldn't want to run out of maneuvering power while orbiting a black hole...

Answer 2

It is not possible because a star is just a burning ball of gas in space. There is no gravity to keep you on the star, and the star would burn you before you even reach it. There is no air, or even oxygen on the star, therefre you cannot breathe. Stars are gas and are not solid, so it is impissible for someone to live there.

Answer 3

Given the magnitude of the Universe and the amount of stars, anything is possible.

Considering there are at least a billions stars in a galaxy and there are at least a 100 billion galaxies, the chances are high.

However, it has to be the right kind of star. Too big and it will be too hot, too small and it will be too cold. It has to be just right.

Also, about 50% of all star systems are multiple stars and this causes stability problems for planets.

In a worse case scenario, there is about 8 star systems in our Galaxy that could harbour intelligent life, but until every star system is analysed, along with their planets, it's difficult to be precise. The chances of rudimentary life existing on other planets or moons is incredibly high.

Answer 4

No, humans cannot live on a star. Stars are incredibly hot, with temperatures reaching millions of degrees Celsius, making it impossible for humans to survive. Additionally, stars do not have a solid surface for humans to stand on.

Answer 5

Yes, it's very possible. We are living proof since Earth orbits a star, which orbits the Milky way's Active Galactic Nuclei, a supermassive black hole.

Answer 6

With the understanding we have of life at this moment, the answer is no, life can not exist on the surface of a star.

Answer 7

Yes. There are places on Mars and inside the moons of Jupiter where bacterial life from Earth could survive.

Answer 8

Yes. Anything is possible in this universe, and scientists recently found that

one of Saturn's moons Rhea has a thin atmosphere.

Answer 9

No, you'd burn up in an instant.
