Engineering-wise, right now in 2012, we don't have the hardware or transportation
systems to carry people to the moon, and the sun is roughly 400 times farther away
than that. So in that sense, the answer is: No closer than you are right now.
Survival-wise, if we didn't have this nice thick blanket of atmosphere protecting us,
we would be in big trouble from the sun right where we're at. Consider what happens
if you sit out on the beach a little too long in July or August.
So in the survival sense, the answer is: As close as you can bring along enough
protective gear to make it seem as if you're not really where you are.
What else can I help you with?
Do humans burn or melt near the sun?
Humans Burn Near the sun. Humans can never just melt next to the sun especially when the sun is over 1 billion degrees Celcius.
How close can you get to the sun without being burnt?
Humans cannot physically get close to the sun without being burnt due to the extreme heat and radiation. The temperature near the sun can reach upwards of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which would be fatal to any known life forms. The closest that any spacecraft has been to the sun is the Parker Solar Probe, which has flown as close as 4 million miles to the sun's surface.
Is going to the sun dangerous to humans?
Yes, going to the sun is dangerous for humans due to the extreme heat and radiation levels. Even with advanced technology, humans do not have the capability to withstand the temperatures and conditions encountered near the sun.
Why is the earth next to the sun?
Gravity. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the earth close to the sun.
What would happen if you touch the sun?
Touching the sun is impossible for humans as it is a massive ball of burning gas located millions of miles away. If somehow you were able to come into contact with the sun, you would be instantly vaporized due to the extreme heat and radiation present on its surface. It is not possible for any object, including humans, to physically touch the sun and survive.
What would you need to do to visit the sun?
It is impossible for humans to even get close to the sun, or visit it.
Can humans beings live at mercury?
no because its to close to the sun.
What planet is dangerously close to the sun?
Anything that causes harm is called dangerous, so as existing unprotected on either Mercury or Venus would be fatal to humans due to their proximity to the sun, both can be said to be dangerously close to the sun for humans.
Why wouldn't plants and humans survive on mercury?
The planet Mercury is way to close to the sun. Plants, humans, and all other organisms would be incinerated by the heat of the sun.
How close can humans actually get to the sun?
Mercury is not the closest we've been to the sun? Not even past the moon. Therefore nobody knows how close we can ACTUALLY get to the sun. If they do know though, they're probably dead : )
Have humans visited the sun or sent robots?
noone can actually physically visit the sun by landing on it cuz your spaceship would melt before it even got there. but yes they have sent robots to go get an up close look at the sun, but not too close.
What is the difference between solar system and star system besides their relation to humans?
stars are far and the sun is close
What would happen to earth if you are as close to sun as venus?
The earth will become like Venus basically because the plants humans will die because of the tremendous heat of the sun
What will happen if earth was to close to the sun?
everything will be destroyed no humans no animals no trees no hills nothing earth will also become hot like sun and will destroy whole other planets by sun and eath
Is Saturn close to the sun?
It's close to the sun
What is the place of mercury in the universe It is close to the sun?
Yes, it is close to the Sun.
How far would the sun have to move to kill humans?
The sun will kill you from right where it is right now. At midday, in full sun (somewhere close to the sub solar point) , if you lie motionless with no protection for a few hours you will probably die.
