As part of their ongoingWhat If?"series,Randall MunroeofxkcdandHenry ReichofMinutePhysicslooked at what would happen if a human spent a quick nanosecond on the surface of the sun before immediately flashing back to Earth. The short answer is, nothing.
Believe it or not, this wouldn't even warmyou. The temperature of the surface of theSun is about 5,800 K, give or take. If you stayed there for a while, you'd be cooked to a cinder,but a nanosecond is not very long, it'senough time for light to travel about a foot.
