It is impossible for life as we know it to exist on the sun. The surface of the sun is composed of hot, burning gas, which does not provide a solid firmament on which life could develop or stand, and it would be far too hot. The most heat-resistant life we know about lives near hydrothermal vents, which approach boiling temperature. In comparison, the surface of the sun is almost 27 times hotter than this. Any creature that could live on the sun would be so different from anything that we've experienced that it would be impossible to tell what it would be like for this creature on the sun.

What color would earths sky be at noon if your sun was a red giant?

Unfortunately at that period of time, there will be no one to look, as all life would have been killed off billions of years ago. Also, because of the immense heat, there would be no atmosphere. The Sun at noon, would fill almost the entire sky and the glare would be blinding, along with the heat which would be scorching to say the least. At sunrise and sunset, the sky would be black, as there would be no atmosphere to bend light and give that "nice" blue colour we see in the sky today. See related link for a picture of what the Sun would look like as a red giant.


What is spf factor?

It would be a Sun Protection Factor factor! (A bit like PIN number).


How would astronomers know if the theory of hydrostatic equilibrium inside the sun was not correct?

If the theory of hydrostatic equilibrium as regards the sun was not correct, then the sun would either collapse or would explode outward. Instead, the sun burns brightly in the sky just as it has done for billions of years. But perhaps a bit more review might help make things a bit clearer. The sun has massive gravity. This gravity would like to pull everything into a tiny ball. But there are countless nuclear fusion reactions occurring each second, and this generates a massive amount of thermal energy. This thermal energy wants to blow the sun apart as it acts in a direction opposite gravity. The sun's gravity is "balanced" by the thermal energy being generated. And the two are working together to determine the size of the sun and its operating (equilibrium) temperature. Keep in mind that the sun is in the middle of its life, so it will continue to do what it is doing for billions of years more.


If the sun was blue would the light here on earth appear different then it does?

If the Sun was a class "O" star and thus appears "blue", then I think there would be no life on Earth to ask the question. Our star - the Sun - is a class G2 star and has a temperature range of around 5,500 kelvin whereas an "O" star is > 30,000 kelvin.

What does the sun mean?

The sun is life for us all. The sun is made of hot gas and fire. The sun shines on the Earth's atmosphere and gives us heat, solar energy, power, and light. Without the sun, there would be no life on Earth. The sun is very important. Just like water.

What would the earth be like without the sun?

In most probability the earth would never have come into existence without the sun. However, if the sun had to disappear now, all life on earth would die very shortly, as everything on earth requiring it's energy would die. Everything that orbits the sun will go off track and possibly collide as there will be no gravitational pull from the sun.


Could life survive on Earth if the sun was nearer or farther away?

If the sun were closer, Earth would be too hot for life to survive, as temperatures would be too high. If the sun were farther away, Earth would be too cold for life to exist, as temperatures would be too low. The distance between Earth and the sun is crucial for maintaining the ideal conditions for life.


If people found a solar system that had a sun just like our sun and a planet was as far from the sun as earth is would that planet be able to support life?

Not much is known about life on other planets - and especially about planets around other solar system. To support life AS WE KNOW IT, the planet would also have to have a similar atmosphere, and availability of water, among other things.
