...the sun does not have a solid surface? It is not made of rock, like a planet. The Sun lacks a solid surface because it is a massive, rotating ball of plasma—a state of ionized gas where electrons are stripped from atoms. Instead of a crust, the Sun has a "photosphere," a ~100-300 km thick layer of lower-density, luminous gas. The density increases with depth, causing any object to sink, melt, and vaporize
