no probes have been sent. in fact, nothing ever has been sent to the sun because of the high temperatures. they would be destroyed on entry. even being close to the sun would damage them.

What space probes have visited earth?

Space probes typically do not visit Earth as they are designed to explore other planets or celestial bodies in space. However, there have been missions like the Parker Solar Probe and the International Sun-Earth Explorer (ISEE-3) that have conducted studies from the vicinity of Earth's orbit.


Human explorations on Mercury?

Humans have sent space probes to take pictures of Mercury from orbit around the planet, but we have not sent a man to Mercury. Sending people to Mercury would be hard because it is so dangerously close to the sun.


Has a probe landed on the Sun?

No - though there are several major Solar Observatories in Space that keep a constant watch on the Sun (primarily for sunspots, solar flares, and other activity that directly affect us here on Earth), nothing can actually "land" on the surface of the Sun, since it is a giant ball of burning gas. Helios2, a non-functioning solar probe (one of 2 Helios probels) holds the record for the closest orbit of the Sun, just inside the orbital path of Mercury. At some point in the future, a probe may be designed to dropped into the Sun to send back readings (similar to Jupiter's Galileo mission) before its destruction, but there has to be a good reason (both scientifically and financially), and so far there is no reason to do so.


Who was the first to discover that the planets go around the sun?

No one has ever walked on the Sun. The mean surface temperature of the Sun is 5506°C (9944°F). No human could survive that. Long before anyone reached the "surface" (which is gas, anyway), radiation and solar protons would disintegrate most metals and cook any living thing.


How can you visit the sun with out burning up?

It is not possible to visit the sun without burning up because the surface temperature of the sun is extremely hot, reaching thousands of degrees Celsius. Even the spacecraft that have been sent to study the sun stay at a safe distance to avoid being destroyed by the intense heat.

Has there been any probes sent to the sun?

yep, it burned up


Was there ever any probes or space crafts sent to mercury?

no there is no point it is to hot remember it the closes planet to the sun they would just melt


Is the sun the only planet in your solar syatem that has not been visited?

Sun Not the Only UnvistedThe sun is a star, but no, it is not the only object in our solar system that we have not yet vsited. There are many planets, too, although we have sent probes that have taken pictures of many of them.


What other planets have you humans sent space probes to?

If by humans visiting you mean , Which planet's have had humans land on that planet the answer is none. The only other place in space that humans have visited is the moon.


When are probes used?

Probes are used to investigate certain aspects of an environment that is difficult or dangerous for humans to investigate in person. Probes are usually relatively small objects that contain just enough equipment and energy to analyse specified aspects of the environment. In space, we have sent probes out of the solar system and to Mars to name just two. The Voyager I is a probe that we sent out of the solar system. Its distance is now 100 times that of the distance between Earth and the Sun. On Earth, we have sent probes into the deep ocean. In Medicine, we often use probes to identify the cause of medical conditions (and sometimes operate on it. Using a probe means that the doctor can make a tiny cut on the skin instead of opening up the patient which is far more risky.


How do probes get there energy?

From the sun solar energy


Can an intercontinental ballistic missile reach escape velocity?

Yes. Probes have already be sent to the Moon, and other planets; this requires a velocity very near the escape velocity from Earth. Other probes are leaving the Solar System, so they achieved the much higher escape velocity required to escape the attraction from the Sun.


Do the voyager probes have any visible sun light?

While many space probes near the Sun (or not too far away, like satellites near the Earth) are solar powered, the designers of the Voyager probes knew that the spacecraft would be going out from the solar system to distances where the Sun is merely a bright star. So the Voyager probes use a nuclear thermal power source.


Is there a different planet that has life in it?

We have been unable to find any sign of life past or present on any of the planets that we have sent probes to. We have not visited any other solar systems besides our own yet. With millions of stars in the universe and each could have as many planets in their orbits as our sun has, there could be life on one or more and we might never find it. We would need spaceships that travel faster than anything yet developed.


Is it possible for humans to go to the sun?

No, not with any manned missions. The energy would fry anything that comes close. Perhaps we will be able to send probes to reasonable distances, or to Mercury, to make observations. We currently have probes in our general vacinity that are taking amazingly beautiful and informative 3D images of the sun.
