How Close Can You Get To The Sun?

The video explores the Sun's importance and the challenges of traveling close to it. It discusses the dangers of radiation and the limitations of current spacesuits in protecting against it. The video explains that even with the fastest spacecraft, reaching the Sun is a lengthy journey. It highlights the need for advanced suits to block harmful radiation and the potential of using spaceships for closer approaches. The video concludes with credits and an invitation to subscribe for more content.

What is one of the main reasons a regular NASA EVA spacesuit would fail before reaching halfway to the Sun?

• Exposure to harmful radiation

• Insufficient fuel capacity

• Inability to withstand high temperatures

• Lack of oxygen supply

How long would it take to travel halfway to the Sun at the speed of Apollo 10?

• One month

• Two and a half months

• One year

• Six months

What type of radiation would a specially designed spacesuit need to block to allow closer proximity to the Sun?

• X-rays and gamma rays

• Infrared light

• Ultraviolet light

• Visible light

At what point would a spacesuit become ineffective due to heat when approaching the Sun?

• 99% of the way to the Sun

• 50% of the way to the Sun

• 75% of the way to the Sun

• 95% of the way to the Sun

Why would a spaceship only get about 95% of the way to the Sun before failing?

• It would run out of fuel

• It would be unable to navigate

• It would start melting due to heat

• It would lose communication with Earth
