The Sun and other stars do not normally have a "solid" surface, but the density at a point within the star is greater than most "solid" matter. The term for material existing in this high-energy state (although very dense for ionized gas) is "plasma". Certain types of stars lose may their fusion reaction, collapsing into a "neutron star", with a very dense fluid surface, and a crushingly high gravity.

If a solid mass travels at the speed of light and it passes through the suns ray to earth would it be seen?

A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.A solid mass won't travel at the speed of light.A solid mass of any speed can block rays of light from the Sun, if it happens to pass in front of the Sun.


Can aluminum pie plates catch on fire outside in the sun?

It is possible for aluminum pie plates to catch on fire outside in the sun if they become extremely hot or receive focused sunlight. It would be very rare for them to catch on fire.


What things would you need if you wanted to build a fire?

To make fire outside u need a mirror or glasses and sun!!!


What solid wont melt in a fire?

Any solid whose melting point is lower than that of the fire. The question is ambiguous because the temperature of the fire it not stated. The sun is form of a fire but its surface temperature is several million Kelvins, nothing including steel is solid at that temperature. A candle light is around 900 degrees steel is solid at this temperature.


Is the Sun a solid mass much like the Earth?

No. It's basically a ball of gas. Dense and highly compressed (and ionized), but not a solid anywhere (we think).


Does the sun have suface?

The visible outside part of the Sun can be said to be its surface. But the Sun doesn't have a solid surface on which you might stand, if that's what you mean. The "surface" we see is called the "photosphere".


How do sun spots prove the sun is not a solid sphere?

I Dont Know Much About Sun Spots, But The Sun Is A Giant Star And All Stars Are Balls Of Gas, Fire Is Also A Gas Of Heat And The Sun Is Partialy Made Of Hot Particles Like Fire. The Sun Isnt A Solid ,but A Gas Hope This Helps!


How do you get to the fire planet from pewter moon?

You mean the sun,well you cant go to the sun because its made out of a gas called hydrogen.And the sun is not solid like the other planets.

Is a comet a glowing mass of just rock?

Nope....they have dust, rocks and even some ice crystals in them that gives the appearance of a large solid ball. Sun shining on the mass gives it a glow and makes it appear solid.


How does fire behave in space?

In the ISS, fire takes on a spherical shape. Just like a sun. But outside, it would go out immediately without the fuel suns have.


How do you determine the Milky Way's mass outside the Sun's orbit?

Scientists determine the Milky Way's mass outside the Sun's orbit by observing the motions of stars and gas in the galaxy and using gravitational models to calculate the total mass that is needed to hold these objects in their orbits. This method allows for estimating the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, which makes up the majority of its mass.
