What would happen to the Sun if it was hit by a meteor?

Question

I don't mean the small meteors that melt away, I mean if it was hit by a comet the same size as the sun or bigger?

Answer 1

i think meteor can't go near too much to the sun.

Answer 2

I suppose the comet would break apart while passing through the sun since it is made mostly of gas. idk.

Answer 3

Something the size of the sun will surely have the pressure required to ignite internal chain fusion reaction. This will make them a star as well.

Anyway if the object have mass as high as sun, but as small as a meteor, that object will surely be somekind of stellar remnant such as white dwarf or neutron star.

These objects are so massive and dense, so if it collide with the sun, the effect would be the same as if you shoot your aquarium with a cannon.

The shell (the object) will remain intact, but the aquarium (the sun) will be shattered.

Answer 4

the sun cant get hit by a metoer beacause the meteor would melt or disolve before it even touched the sun or it would beacome smaller and would have no effect on the sun

Answer 5

Something the same size or bigger would make it another Star, not a comet or a meteor.

You would be dead.  Our solar system would be destroyed from the extreme gravitational forces even before they collide.

Answer 6

I read something in Scientific American about colliding stars.  Two stars of the same mass would be utterly destoryed upon colliding, unless one of them was a stellar remnant, like a white dwarf.  In that case they white dwarf would pass unharmed through the sun-like star, destorying the other with tidal forces.
