Spacecraft touched the Sun but why its not Melting?

The Sun, our nearest star, has long fascinated scientists and astronomers. Its intense heat and radiation pose significant challenges for exploration, yet recent advancements in space technology have allowed us to send spacecraft closer to the Sun than ever before. But one question remains: How do these spacecraft survive the fiery journey without melting? In this blog, we’ll explore the incredible engineering feats behind these missions and uncover the secrets to their survival in the scorching heat of our solar system’s powerhouse.

Before delving into how spacecraft withstand the Sun’s heat, it’s essential to grasp the extreme conditions they encounter. The Sun’s surface temperature averages around 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit), while temperatures in the Sun’s corona – its outer atmosphere – can soar to millions of degrees. Additionally, the Sun emits intense radiation in the form of ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray radiation, posing further challenges for spacecraft approaching its vicinity.
