i have a feeling this was answered a while ago. however, my problem is, a shere of water (as it is in space) is launched into the sun from here, assuming it hits no graviational fields and continues on it's path into the sun, the following will happen:
1. the water, frozen from its trip through space will melt and heat up
2. the water will boil and evaporate to give up water vapor, still hurling twords sun at same speed
3. ? i do not know what hapens next, I am assuming that the atoms split and enter the sun where the incredibly small amount of hydrogen fuels it for less than a fraction of a eccond
can someone explain what happens in #3?
i think one of my teachrs once told me that it catches fire. this makes not too muchsence seeing as there is no oxygen to do so, and even fire leaves residue so it ould just be left with H and O
...
the long versoin of this; might we someday be able to fuel the dying sun by supplying it with hydrogen from other planets sometime in the distant future?
seems extremely unlikely
