Here's What Will Happen If Nukes Are Sent To The Sun

Send “a” nuke? That’s like throwing a grain of sand in the ocean and expecting to see some significant result. 

 

Send all our nukes (every one on the planet) and it’d be like throwing a stone the size of, say a cigarette lighter flint, into Lake Michigan.

 

The sun is a thermonuclear furnace of immense size and mass. It runs by fusion of atomic materials like a hydrogen bomb. Our puny H-bombs are a fraction of its output every second. Our smaller, fission devices (A-Bombs) aren’t even a millisecond of the sun’s output.

The reason is something called relative scale. Up there is a photo of a scale model of our solar system.
