If the sun is too hot to land a spacecraft on, why don't they go at night?

The serious answers are hilarious!\n\nActually, how could they see! Duh! LOL!!

Several reasons:\n\n1.)  Close to the Sun, as aforementioned.\n\n2.)  Its solar day is very long (176 days from sunrise to sunrise), which means there is a lot of time for the surface to heat up during the day, and to cool off at night.\n\n3.)  There is no atmosphere to redistribute the heat around the planet, and thus equalize the temperature somewhat.

THe SUN IS NOT BURNING. IT IS MADE UP OF MILLION OF STARS SO IT DOES NOT NEED TO BURN.

it's because they use the moon to navigate.  artificial light confuses them.

not to sound too smart but the stars don't come out until night, why midnight because it is considered the middle of the night.
963666
because it gets dark at night on this planet

No, they'd be extremely too cold.  Unless Mars had a microwave...

The sun is a giant ball of plasma constantly fusing hydrogen into helium.  It is not 'on fire', so to speak, so the lack of oxygen and the coldness of space don't effect it like a match or something.

We do have them in the day, just they not show up as well. Many seem more numerous before dawn, because they best seen then or the angle they hit the atmosphere at that time. All I know.

yep, the sun doesn't hit it as much. Plus, it would depend on your location too.

doubt it the suns outa layer alone has a temp of 6,000°C (11,000°F. and the inner core with a temp of  15,000,000° C; 27,000,000°F. and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place. so its highly doubtful but if there where they'd be some strong little ufos no human nor animal or even a earths creature could possibly survive the heat that intense

Well the sun is forever burning,I don't think it would cool down at any point in time.\nI think thats how it is I'm not really sure,ether way they'll burn to a crisp.\nFried monkey!Thats a new one.lol

The closest star the sun in our lifetime yes could be by an unmanned spacecraft. But there are too many factors right now that prohibit a human from reaching anywhere close to the sun. One of the man factors is propulsion, we right now simply do not have an efficient enough form of fuel to get a human anywhere near the sun any time soon.

It heats up the atmosphere in the day time and at night when there is no sun, heat rises from the ground creating disturbances in the atmoshpere, aka wind. The same applies to cold air sinking from the upper layers of the atmosphere to the ground.

All the world governments conspired to cover up the fact that the moon landings did not happen because they needed to develop the necessary rocket technology for war. Holland teaches their children in school that it did not happen. They were in the position to know. Do your own research on that one.\nLook a the book called 'Full Moon' by Michael Light, June 1999. There are six pages in the center of the book that contain 'rectangular suns'. All of the pictures that were ever in dispute are in the book. Use your common sense and look for your self. \nLook at the capsule, if there were parachutes at one end and a heat shield at the other, how did they transfer to the lunar lander?\nThey flew all the way to the moon with two seventy-seven pound computers that only had 48k memory each, uh huh, I've got a bridge to sell you.\nAnybody that has knowledge of thermal dynamics can tell you that the cooling systems that the astro-nots wore would not dissipate enough heat to keep them cool. NASA insists that they were water cooled units, guess what it takes an atmosphere for evaporation to take place. Next what about the lack of a blast zone on the moon by the lander that supposedly created 10,000 pounds of thrust.\nIf they actually did it 35 years ago why will it take them until 2018 to do it again?\nI've been studying this for years and I could go on for hours. Lastly I'll leave you with this thought, why did Walter Cronkite always end the show about a mission with these words? "Brought to you through the magic of Hollywood"\nIt couldn't have happened and it didn't, nothing to get your shorts in a bunch over. \nBut thank you for keeping an open mind, name calling is never nice and too many will call you unpatriotic or stupid or other less desirable names. Don't let yourself be bullied by politics.\nKeep the faith and keep asking the hard questions.\nYours truly,\nMycroft

It's not possible.  If such a "piece of the sun" were somehow to detach itself and fly off into space, it would rapidly expand and cool without the sun's massive gravity to hold it together. \nThere HAVE been instances where massive solar flares (coronal mass ejections) have reached the vicinity of the Earth. They cause all kinds of problems with satellites, power grids and radio communications.

The day side of the moon reaches over 200 degress fahrenheit.  Not very cold is it?  Also, when you get out near Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune you have to realize that these planets put out more heat than they get from the sun, so their local environment is warmer than many expects.\n\nAlso, the Corona (the outer layer of the sun - where the electrons are located out AWAY from the sun is over 4 million degrees!).  So that's alot of heat and we only get less than like 1/10th of 1% or so on Earth.  So we get next to nothing of what the sun actually puts out, thank god.
