Has anyone ever landed on the sun?

NO!!!It is not possible to land on the sun as it has no actual surface, it is a ball of plasma (hot ionized gas) all the way through. Via the solar wind and solar flares the sun actually reaches far beyond the planets and into the Oort Cloud, if not further. The 2 Voyager spacecraft are just leaving the outer reaches of the Sun's ball of plasma now. The temperature of this plasma is as follows:core, 15.7 MKradiative zone, 7 MK to 2 MKconvective zone, 2 MK to 5800 Kphotosphere, 5800 K (this is often mistakenly called the surface, but it is just the layer we see)temperature minimum, 4100 Kchromosphere, 4100 K to 20000 Ktransition region, 20000 K to 1 MKcorona, 1 MK to 20 MKheliosphere, supersonic solar wind and solar flares (all the planets, etc. are in this part of the sun)heliosheath, solar wind begins slowing hereheliopause, this is the point where the solar wind slows to subsonic speedsheliotail, the sun's gases merge into the galaxy's gases here


Where is the coolest region of the sun?

There is no cold part on the sun, the sun is hot.Answer:While there is no "cool" part of the sun there are cooler parts.The core of the Sun's temperature is about 15,000,000° KThe photosphere is roughly 5800° KThe chromosphere has a temperature ranging from 4000° K at the bottom to around 25,000° K at the top.The corona can exceed one million Kelvin.The temperature of sunspots is on the order of 4000° K.As an aside, this does not mean that we will never be able to "land" on the sun. Some alloys like tantalum hafnium carbide (Ta4HfC5), a refractory compound with a melting point of 4488 K (4215 °C, 7619 °F) could survive there. It is possible that even higher melting points may be achieved in the future..
