What spacecraft have visited the sun?

As of 2021, only the Parker Solar Probe has visited the sun. It was launched by NASA in 2018 with the mission of studying the sun's outer atmosphere and its effects on space weather.


If you lived on the sun would you still see the moon go through phases?

No, you wouldn't. The phases of the moon we see from earth depend on the fact that the sun lights different sides of it, though only one side of the moon always faces earth. The key is that we are looking at the way the sun lights the moon's surface from here on earth. From the sun, we'd see a moon that was constantly being lit, and lit from right where we were looking at it from, if that makes sense. No "darker" phases would ever appear. Whatever side of the moon faced us on the sun, the sun would light it up. And we'd always see that fully illuminated side.


Are there bigger suns than your sun?

Our Sun is just an average star. There are smaller stars, and bigger stars, Some stars are so huge it would be difficult to see the Sun next to it - See link for a picture.


What would the moon look like if it did not reflect light from the sun?

It would be dark.The only thing that makes the moon lighted up is the sun. Therefore, if the sun did not reflect the light it has, the moon would be dark.


If the sun exploded how long would it take for us to see?

The Sun is approximately 93 million miles or 8 light minutes away... meaning the light from the sun takes a full 8 minutes to reach Earth. Therefore, if the sun were to explode (as improbable as that is), we here on Earth wouldn't notice it for 8 minutes. However, after 8 minutes, we would die instantly, so we may not notice much of anything.
