Is The Sun Liquid? - Globebusters DEBUNKED
Dear Globebusters,
The Sun is not a liquid. Never has been. Never will be.
How does altitude affect the boiling point of water?
As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases because air is less dense at higher altitudes. ... Therefore, less heat is required to make the vapor pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure. The boiling point is lower at higher altitude.
- at sea level, where air pressure is 1.0132 bars, water boils at 212o F
- at the top of Mt. Everest 29,029 feet, where air pressure is 0.31444 bars, water boils at 154.48o F
- at 35,000 feet, where most commercial airlines cruise, where air pressure is 0.23844 bars, water boils at 140.88o F
- at 81,421 feet, where air pressure is .013557 , water boils at ZERO o F
The Kármán line, an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level, is conventionally used as the start of outer space. The temperature at that height is about 2-3 Kelvin (-456o F). If you release liquid water into space right there, it rapidly boils into vapor, which immediately sublimates and crystallizes directly from the gas to solid phase into tiny water crystals.
Methane gas becomes frozen solid at -296.6o F
Hydrogen gas becomes frozen solid at 14o K (-434.47o F)
There are no liquids at an altitude 3,000 miles, which is where fat Earth proponents claim the Sun is at.

It's interesting how crackpots (Globebusters) are always attracted to other off-the-cuff astronomy/physics failures (Dr. Robitaille).
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Pierre-Marie_Robitaille
Pierre-Marie Luc Robitaille (born 1961) is an accomplished radiologist and a Nobel disease-type crank. As director of magnetic resonance imaging research for the Department of Medicine of Ohio State University from 1989-2000 he made major advances in the science of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), leading the project to build the 8 Tesla Ultra High Field human MRI scanner.
In 2000, he was asked to step down from his position as director (though he remains a professor) when he began to promote theories that were outside his actual realm of expertise, specifically related to non-mainstream beliefs in the areas of astronomy and physics: he maintains that satellite measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, believed by most astronomers to be an afterglow of the Big Bang, are actually observations of a glow from Earth's oceans.
He also maintains that the Sun is not a gaseous plasma, but is in fact made of liquid metallic hydrogen. None of his ideas have been accepted by any reputable physics publication.
Robitaille has been presented as a physicist, cosmologist and even an astrophysicist, though anyone who has gained actual credentials in these fields would beg to differ. Criticism of his crank ideas range from accusations of cherry picking evidence to a failure to understand even rudimentary thermodynamics.
In 2002, Robitaille and his wife paid for a full page ad in the Sunday New York Times, detailing his microwave and Sun hypotheses. Mainstream astronomers reviewed and dismissed Robitaille's claims as "untenable" and "completely wrong". The incident raised questions about the New York Times' policy for printing paid advertisements without checking them for reasonable factual validity. The ad cost nearly a year of Robitaille's salary. When asked why he didn't just put it on arXiv, he replied that he didn't know it existed. Although he eventually found his way to viXra and pseudojournal alternative science journal Progress In Physics.
He has since continued to spam non-crank physicists with his ideas, particularly one email run in 2009 widespread enough for recipients to discuss it amongst themselves. His work has also been latched onto for support from the nuttier global warming denialists. He is also admired by electric universe advocates: he spoke at the 2014 Electric Universe Conference on his microwave and Sun theories.
Now there is a Youtube channel (Sky Scholar) where he discusses some ideas with graphics added.
