SUMMARY
A moon-sized ball of ice impacting the sun would primarily result in the ice boiling off before any significant contact occurs. The discussion emphasizes that the sun's violent processes far exceed the effects of such an impact, suggesting that any remnants of the ice would likely not survive the encounter. Ultimately, the consensus is that there would be no net effect on the sun from this event.
