    Walking on the Sun is impossible because it is made of a very hot gas. It is not solid like the Earth or the Moon, so there would be no hard surface to walk on if you could get close to its surface. It is also EXTREMELY hot, so we cannot safely get very close to the Sun. Even unmanned spaceships or instruments cannot get to the surface of the Sun because of how hot it is.
