The Sun is a G-type, main sequence star that resides near the center of the Solar System. It has ~36 bodies larger than 400km in orbit around it.

Here is a delta-v chart for the Sun and its orbiting bodies (note: the DV numbers are measured in kps)

Layers

Descending from the surface,

• Corona

• Chromosphere

• Photosphere

• Convection zone

• Radiation zone

• Core

Power output

The Sun outputs 3.83*10³³ ergs/second or 3.83*10²⁶ joules/second or 91.5 petatons of TNT/second.

• Luminosity at distance x via Inverse Square Law in (joules/second)/meters²: To use replace "x" with the distance from the Sun to the object in meters.

• This calculator is a measure of how much energy will hit an object at x distance. Mearly multiple what ever number you get out of it by the object's surface area in order to get the total energy it is getting hit with.

  • This calculation does not work for objects inside the Sun. Energy/m² will decrease until it passes the Photosphere, then start to increase as the object moves closer to the core.

Durability

The Sun has a Gravitational Binding Energy of 2.276*10⁴¹ joules.

In order to destroy the Sun that is the minimum energy needed assuming the Sun is destroyed in an extremely efficient manner.

Generic Stats

Mass: 1.989*10³⁰ kilograms.

Equatorial Radius: 695,508 kilometers.

Overall Density: 1408 kg/m²

• Chromosphere Density: <1.6*10⁻¹¹ kg/m³ to 2*10⁻⁴ kg/m³

• Core Density (Approximate): 1.622 x 10⁵ kg/m³

Pressure:

• Core: 2.477 x 10¹¹ Bar

Surface Temperature: 5,500 degrees Celsius.

• Corona Temperature: 500,000 k to >1,000,000 k

• The Photosphere is the coldest part of the Sun as an object passes the Photosphere the temperature

• Core Temperature: 1.571 x 10⁷ K

Surface Gravity: 274.0 m/s² or 27.96 g.

• Gravity at distance x: To use replace "x" with distance from the sun to the object in meters

  • This does not work for objects inside the Sun. The gravitational force will go down as the object approaches the core.

Escape Velocity: 617.6 kilometers per second.
