What happens if you send 1000 nuclear bombs to the sun?

I don't think that it would be possible due to the bombs being unable to explode in outer space due to the lack of oxygen and/or other various things. I may be wrong, though.

As for what would actually happen, it's hard to say. The sun would also cause the bombs to detonate long before they're able to hit the surface.

It would deform a tiny part of the sun for about 30 seconds. Then the sun would reform itself.

The bombs would explode whenever they were programmed to explode. It couldn't be deep inside the sun, because they would melt and vaporize before they got there. Also, the "surface" is kind of fuzzy.

It will be equivalent to putting one needle in a steel plant.

You could kiss goodbye the money it cost to build them and launch them from Earth. Nuclear bombs wouldn't be a squeak compared to the concussions on the sun, let alone inside it. They'd probably be destroyed long before they reached it because of the heat, unless they were somehow shielded.

A nuke leaves nothing but a small crater (if you do it right) when it explodes on Earths surface. The sun's diameter is one hundred times Earth's, and the surface area is thirty thousand times greater.

Chances are that they would melt long before getting anywhere near the solar surface.

If you were to take all the power generated on this planet (by what ever means), you would still need another 2.5 trillion more watts of power to match what the sun generates in one second.

What would do the sun in would be about 100 billion tons of lithium. That would stop the thermonuclear reaction by acting as a neutron dampener.

1) you over-estimate the power of a nuclear bomb.
2) you have no idea how big the Sun is.
3) you don't even know how much power there is an ordinary thunderstorm or a hurricane or an earthquake.

1000 bombs?  Make it 1000000.  The Sun wouldn't even notice.

Think of the sun as a collection trillions of nuclear expositions going off every second. 1000 nuclear bombs won't even make it close to the sun.


The corona would first melt the missile casing and the war head. If it's a gun-type bomb, the chamber that is used to drive a projectile into the sub-critical mass of radioactive matter would probably warp and fail to even fire in the first place. The whole missile, instead of detonating would be vaporized and consumed by the sun long before it reached the "surface".

TL;DR - The bomb wouldn't even detonate.

The bombs would be totally destroyed in functionality before they ever reached the sun.  You terrorists are going to need to use much greater technology that we have today to make it even concievalbly possible for it to escape the scathing heat and gravity and have an effect on the sun.

Nothing would happen, There would be a small explosion by the sun standards and the energy would just be added.

You get 1000 rather hot nuclear bombs.  Even if they went off they would not make much difference to the sun.
