    So theoretically, there could be organisms living on the surface of the sun?

      Unlikely. Biochemistry, as we know it, relies on a carbon-carbon backbone. That breaks down long before the temperatures on the sun’s main outer layers. The electrons get stripped off, and chemistry, as we know it, stops working.

      Eating radiation is one thing, surviving those temperatures is another. I don’t even think tardigrades can survive that hot.
