Well, we know that you get burnt if you stay out on the beach long enough.

So whatever the answer is, the earth is already closer than that to the sun.

How close can a human get to the sun without getting burnt?

A person can't physically get too close to the sun without burning up due to its intense heat. The closest distance a spacecraft has come to the sun is about 4 million miles, and even at that distance, temperatures can reach over 250 degrees Fahrenheit.


What would happen to people if they touched the sun?

If someone were to touch the sun, they would instantly vaporize due to the extreme heat and radiation emitted by the sun's surface, which can reach temperatures of millions of degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, the sun is so massive that it would be physically impossible for a person to even get close enough to touch it without being pulled into its gravity and incinerated.


What will happenif you put sand in the sun?

Realistically you can't get close enough to the sun without getting killed to drop sand in it but it would burn instantly theoretically.


How close can you get to the sun without burning?

Spacecraft can get as close as about 5 million miles to the sun without burning up, thanks to special heat shields and insulation. However, any object that gets closer to the sun would face extreme heat and radiation, which can cause it to break down or burn up.


How close to the sun could you get without burning up?

The distance you can get to the sun without burning up depends on the protection and technology available. A spacecraft like the Parker Solar Probe has been able to get as close as 6.2 million kilometers to the sun's surface due to its advanced heat shield and thermal protection system. Without such technology, you would start experiencing extreme temperatures and damage much farther away from the sun.
