What Would Happen to the Elements in the Human Body If Teleported to the Sun?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

If a human body were teleported to the surface of the Sun, the elements comprising it—primarily oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, and phosphorus—would remain intact but would be vaporized and ionized, losing their structural integrity. In the short term, all elements would exist in a plasma state, while in the long term, some elements may undergo transmutation due to the Sun's nuclear processes. The presence of these elements in the Sun is evidenced by Fraunhofer lines in its spectrum, indicating their participation in cyclic element transmutations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic chemical elements and their properties
  • Familiarity with plasma physics and ionization processes
  • Knowledge of nuclear fusion and element transmutation
  • Awareness of astrophysical phenomena, particularly related to the Sun
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Saha ionization equation for insights into ionization in stellar environments
  • Research the process of nuclear fusion and how elements are formed in stars
  • Examine the significance of Fraunhofer lines in stellar spectroscopy
  • Explore the implications of element transmutation in astrophysics
USEFUL FOR

Astrophysicists, chemists, and anyone interested in the interactions of human biological elements with stellar environments will benefit from this discussion.

The human body is made up of mostly oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, and phosphorus. Less than 1% is sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.

If a human body was teleported to the surface of the sun, what would happen to these elements? Which ones would cease to exist without any trace (or would there be a trace?) and which ones would become part of the sun?

Short Term:
Since your list is of Elements, they would all still exist. They may become ionized (lose 1 or more electrons) though.

Long Term:
Over the life of the Sun some would likely be permuted (add or lose Protons) into other elements.

I'll leave the important details to the astrophysics experts here.

The human body would be vaporised, and then become part of the plasma. All structure would be lost, all atoms untraceable.

All the listed elements are present in the Sun as part of cyclic element transmutations.
That is evidenced by the presence of Fraunhofer lines in the spectrum.
See this page for details of elemental analysis of the Sun.

The elements would still exist.
The photosphere should not have enough energy available for transmutation to any appreciable degree.

In case you are wondering,

about ionization, and what equations to study.

and you can carry on from there.
