What if a comet hits The Sun..??


Comets are nothing but collection of giant smoke and various gases which includes ice and several other materials. They trace elliptical orbits from The Sun. When they travel towards The Sun. They start melting and then we could see the tail of the COMET.
Not all Comets are lucky.. Few Comets are really close to our starts and they are keep on heading towards The Sun.. The outer layer of The Sun is Solar Corona whose surface temperature lies around 6000°c  and moreover sun isn't exact solid in shape. But it is collection of various gases. Which lets The Sun to maintain the heat and help it in burning. The Sun and it's gravity is so large that even if any tiny object whose mass is lesser than The Sun passes from nearby, Then possibly The Sun could destroy the object with it's heat or electromagnetic radiation or it could either merge the celestial body into itself. The only possibility to shake up The Sun is the heavenly body must be larger or heavier than The Sun.
The electromagnetic radiation are the major factor which poses danger, this is the same radiation that causes Sun burn. The rocks and ice in the comet has to be strong enough to sustain the radiation. If it starts breaking or melting then it can never pose threat to The Sun. But there are some comets which could survive actually the radiation and could withstand the heat produced by The Sun.
COMET ISON was one of those to comets to survive. It was said to be one of the strongest comets. But even that started melting when it was travelling and passing nearby to The Sun in 2013. The tail was so shiny that it could be seen from the earth..
Now let's assume what if actually a larger comet hits The Sun??
Not sure about that. But this can happen sooner or later. The normal speed of a comet is about 500-600 KMPS. But if it travels nearby to the sun. The force of speed of comet + the gravity pulling force combines up and creates a deadly. The deadly reaction would not affect the sun very much. But the collision would sure imply certain affect on the sun
The collision will cause in an airburst which would release a heavy amount of UV as well as X-Rays. Which would be as powerful as the MAGNETIC FLAIRS.. Or Corona mass temperature (greater than 6000°c) and that would result in affecting certain parts of areas, resulting SUN QUAKES.

Truly.. Space is Amazing 😄
