The sun is much more than an ordinary star, An incredibly powerful energy source. Even thinking about the mass and energy amount of this enormous celestial body can push your mind to its limits.

Well, it’s the best place we can imagine, where we can see in a concrete way the destruction it has caused. If we throw an atomic bomb into the sun, which will cause an effective explosion, what is happening?

The sun radiates much more energy than we thought.

The mass of the sun is 330,000 times that of the Earth. Every second in the center of the sun, millions of tons of hydrogen, It turns into helium and produces enormous amounts of energy.

The resulting energy; More than the earth can consume in years And The energy radiated from the surface becomes heat and light in space.

Compared to solar energy, the energy released by the atomic bomb is virtually nothing.

a solar flare, 100 exajoules (100,000,000,000,000,000,000 J) Energy is released. To make it clearer, we can say that it is almost 500 times more energy than nuclear bombs… The energy created by the atomic bomb is a very small fraction of the sun’s energy production per second.

Even if you think about the largest atomic bomb on earth It doesn’t mean much to the sun, it remains like a drop in the ocean.

In short, while we think highly of the atomic bomb, dropping a bomb on a huge energy source like the sun will have no effect whatsoever. Besides, it’s not that easy to throw something at the sun anyway. In fact, it is much easier to get out of the Sun’s orbit.
