I've been thinking a lot and since we have already walked on the moon don't you think we should try walking on the sun now. We would probably need to have astronauts from the Middle East or Northern Africa because they are use to hot temperatures. Please give me you thoughts on this subject. I want to be an astronaut when I grow up so this topic is of much interest to me. Btw I'm a Junior in High School, and on the football team. I start left guard no big deal.

A. you can't walk on what is not solid
B. No Human made vehicle can come close to the sun, much less tuoch it

No.
The Sun does not have a definite boundary as rocky planets do. It is gaseous plasma and with increasing distance from the center its density drops.
Its surface can be taken to be at any level you choose but is generally considered to be at the photosphere. The visible "surface" of the Sun, the photosphere, is the area below which the Sun becomes opaque to visible light. Above it visible sunlight escapes into space. The change from opacity is due to the decreasing amount of negative hydrogen ions, which absorb visible light easily.
► Athough the photosphere is the "surface" most readily visible to the naked eye, the sun’s density at that level is less than that of a laboratory vacuum on Earth. There could be no "walking" on the Sun at any level.

Definitely not! The suns temperature is way too high for us humans, it's nothing like Africa's temperature. The temperature of the sun at its core is 27 million degrees, but only about 10 million degrees on its surface. Just imagine how much hotter that is compared to Africa? In a much simpler form, the sun is like a big ball of fire. If it can hurt you when you're on the Earth then any closer you're as good as dead.

They would be burnt up (unless they went at night).

Your on the Football team? Then that explains your question.

Yes, I am sure the grade 5 kids think this is amusing.

Are you KIDDING!" What is the temperature there? I don't know, but we'd sure as heck turn to ashes before we ever got too close!
