What would happen if you flew up to the sun and farted?

I was suspended in grade school for asking this very question.

Absurd.

"to the sun" is a relative expression.

if you would fart within coronal mass ejection (what can range million miles from the surface of the sun) technically you would still be in the sun.

also depends on fart composition. if rich with hydrogen, it would glow for split second, i think.

The sun is a moving painting, it is not real. We get are heat from millions upon billions of wee tiny air packets that fart forever

Your kids and ancestors would never have to work again.

The sun would kill you before you had the chance to fart.

i'm evaluating all of this as hypothetical situation.

wrong, i would mog the sun in a 1v1. its just a big hot ball of gas, and i am one of the great ones chosen disciples of meat.
if we presume a spaceship launched from earth.. with you in it directly at the sun...

well first it would take you a while to get there.. and even with a course set to be swallowed into the sun eventually it's likely you circle around before this happen....

anyhow.. long before your drop into the sun you would die due the extreme radiation.as you get closer and closer

even at earths distance being exposed to direct sunlight already exposes you to 120C...
while the backside would be exposed to -271C

so flying towards the sun.. in your rocket.. it thus would start to heat up.
-
and while you can have cooling systems installed.. those eventually run out of gas. or won't have enough cooling capacity anymore.,.. so your inside of your rocket starts to heat up..
now you can sweat so you can still survive until 54C presuming your in great scape and your rocket also have filters to keep humidity at 0% (humans can endure higher temperetures in lower humidity as high humidity hinders our sweating ability)

so once that inside of the rocket hits 55C your body start heating up.. without it being able to dissepate that heat... and this will start raising your body tempterature.. first you get feverish but are still okish.. until your body temperature hit around 40C thats when you will; start to faint, perhaps see things and likely have an worsening headache..
these faints and dizzyness will get worse and worse and around 42C you will faint out (drop in a coma) what we call a solar stroke..
-than you still be alive.. but your body and brain will sustain massive damage.... more so as it rises....more and more.. to most people 44C is death... but you may be in so great shape that you may live a few degrees longer.. the very protains in your body start to deform above 42% thus permanently killing cells...
-
basicly your body gets s slowcooked.

as your rocket starts moving with your corpse to the sun.. these temperatures will keep rising.. and likely that inside will rise tho a few hundred degrees.. so first you slowcook than you actually coook than you char... eventually items like your body and perhaps plastics will start to burn in the cabin....
***lets presume the ship does have fire supression and sucks thje oxigen out to prevent these fires causing even more trouble....

well than... your rocket will just be heated up more and more as it closes towards the sun..
the closest we ever got any object (a prope) to the sun is about 6.1 million km from it's surface. at that distance it recieved 1000C of heat... thats about th temperature of lava..
and as metals expend and structurally weaken... and it also had to keep performing this was when it died (signal lost)

your rocket if made from materials most heat resistance and with modern energing behind it.. may zoom on a bit longer especially if we not care about signal.. only about it keeping in one peace... but even if we manage it breaking in pieces... eventually long before it reaches the surface the metals will melt... and the other more complex molecules will start disintegrating falll into smaller chunks and single moleculues (plastics will turn to dust due not only this heat..

this now liquid will take a ballform shape (perhaps a few balls) and will be glowing.. and as it heats more and more glow brighter and brighter..... now it depends on impact directory....
but it is most likely this temperature will reach so high it will actually turn into the fourth stage of matter plasma before it reaches the surface of the sun....

and than it does... one hot plasma hitting another.... as the sun is hydrogen at the surface and helium with a bit of contamination with heavier elements at it's core.. these atoms will sink trough all these layers of plasma deeper and deeper.
there is ofcourse radiation moving out from the sun... so theres two forces here at wortk..

eventually this matter will reach the suns core... and remain there..
this slight added mass to the sun will also pull the matter of the sun in a TEEENY bit more, thus speed up the nuclear fission at it's core a TEENY bit more... this cause the sun now to burn a TEEENY bit faster slowing down it's remaining lifespan a TEENY bit


at NO point would you ever get anywhere near the sun to be able to fart... there is no material in excistance you could use to withstand the temperature to ever reach the suns surface...


and any methane cloud (your fart) you would send towards the sun well it gets it's molecules split into atoms than turned in plasma long before it touches down too...


but lets presume you have some fantastical heat resistant alien material... and can teleport yourself to that surface and while the heat would turn you into plasma in a fraction of a second.. you just expose that fart before you turn into dust..

well than it does not matter if this fart is in our outsite your body exposed suddenly to 6000C it would take veeeery little time for it to be stripped into individual atoms.. and turned into plasma.. and than start sinking into the sun...

the sun would set the fart on fire. painful stuff.

reminded of this - probably because of the series

Gonna have to put this in the queue, it's actually good 😆
assuming that somehow the sun doesn't kill you, and your fart is a different entity, then I'd imagine that the event that would happen in response to your fart would be dependent on the composition of your fart. Nonetheless I'd imagine no matter the element of your fart, assuming within reasonable bound (e.g. no farting oganesson) it would instantly transform into a plasma. At most your fart would expell and be heated by the sun and it would emit some light.
OP flew too close to the sun.
