Actually what happens if you climb a high mountain? You are closer to the sun and yet, the higher you climb the colder it gets.

edit to add:
The biggest proof that we can observe with our naked eyes, which shows this theory is incorrect, are comets. Just in seeing a comets tail, you know that the sun is producing the heat that warms it and generates that tail. Comets lose their tails when they head away from the sun into colder deep space.

tail points away from the sun
The first indication that the sun might be emitting a "wind" came from comet tails, observed to point away from the Sun, whether the comet was approaching the Sun or whether it was moving away. Kepler in the early 1600s guessed that those tails were driven by the pressure of sunlight, and his guess still holds true for the many comet tails which consist of dust.
Sunlight pressure cannot explain such behavior, but in 1943 Cuno Hoffmeister in Germany, and later Ludwig Biermann, proposed that apart from sunlight, the Sun also emitted a steady stream of particles, a "solar corpuscular radiation" which pushed the ions. Variations in the speed of the particles would explain the accelerations, and the tail did not point straight away from the Sun because the flow velocity of the particles was not too many times larger than the velocity of the comet itself.

How are you going to bounce a laser off the sun and actually see the return? And in any case there's no need to. Again, we can measure the temperature of the sun just by observing the peak wavelength of its light.
Kelvin = 2.9 × 10^6 nanometers/lambda peak
The sun's peak lambda is about 483nm.
"The electric currents in the Sun generate a complex magnetic field with extends out into interplanetary space to form the interplanetary magnetic field. As the Sun's magnetic field is carried out through the solar system by the solar wind, the Sun is rotating. Its rotation winds up the magnetic field into a large rotating spiral, known as the Parker spiral, named after the scientist who first described it."

I was suggesting that the technology needs to be improved on,, it already exist.
And the article states that the way scientist measure the heat of the sun by observing peak wavelength is faulty. It is ok when measuring a red ot bar of iron but you canot use the same logic to measure the sun's heat.

Another is the comet Venus (I think), NASA expected a nice, soft landing, plasma cosmologist's theorized there would be intense reaction, from the EM field of the comet, and the field given off by the lander. When it 'landed' there was a great 'flash', a serious reaction (If I remember correctly, it was estimated to be the same as a quarter of a kiloton blast).
Apparently from NASA itself eh? Where as it doesn't say that the sun is powered by electricity, it does accept that electricity, plays a large part in it's function.
What?! Venus isn't a comet! It's a planet! What lander are you talking about? NASA never landed anything on Venus!
Right, hidden electrons are managing to sneak all the way to the sun slowly without being detected, without being buffeted away by electrostatic forces of the solar wind, without being diverted by the sun's magnetic field and somehow magically provide enough power to produce a massive amount of light across the spectrum AND send electons and protons hurtling away from the sun with enegies far greater than the electrons coming in...

"It's called a flux transfer event or 'FTE,'" says space physicist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. "Ten years ago I was pretty sure they didn't exist, but now the evidence is incontrovertible."

You haven't explained why it's faulty. The formula works because the sun is a black body emitter. There is no reason to believe otherwise. This is confirmed by getting the same answer by using the Stefan-Boltzmann law to calculate the sun's temperature.

Actually, yes… We have landed on Venus:
Venera-9
like in 1975…

Thats what I get for not doing my own research to refresh my memory! It was comet Holmes, apologies.
The Sun is an Anode, electrons are drawn toward the Anode, and protons are accelerated away,

I don’t see how the direction of the tail makes anything I said incorrect? I did not mention the direction, and the direction always facing away from the sun only serves to reinforce the idea that I was initially expressing, which is that the sun generates the tail.
I also like how you pick only part of the article to state it is not the heat, when it is explained in the same article that pressure alone cannot account for the tail in its entirety:
What do you think that “radiation” is?
Its heat radiating from the sun as energy.

look genious, i didn't write the article i just posted it. take it or leave it i dont care either way, but don't get nasty with me because it threatens your opinion of reality.

ok
now the comet reaches perhelion (closest point to sun) and passes by the sun the tail changes direction.. the tail is now in front of the comet.. is the comet flying through the tail..
i don't know exactly.. all i know is you have a stream of posative protons coming from the sun..
this stream of negative ions are what i understand to be the tail..
