Sure. Please shoot it for us with your Super Nuke-aholic Galaxy Blaster Black Hole Gun.
I found that answer for you :
"I once did a calculation based on using every possible nuclear weapon we have on Earth plus all fissile material (e.g., nuclear plant fuel) that could be turned into a bomb.
I wanted to know if we could blow up the Moon.
Turns out that if we could use the entire energy available in all the nuclear weapons and other fissile materials (including the fuel used for electricity production), at 100 % efficiency (all energy going exclusively into pushing Moon soil upwards) we would not even be able to remove a 4 foot layer form the surface of the Moon -- never mind the whole Moon.
And nuclear weapons have a very poor "efficiency" rating: they liberate barely 4% (or less) of the available nuclear energy. And most of that would go into turning rocks to rubble; l very little energy left to lift any of it to escape speed. The 4 feet is suddenly down to much less than one millimetre (1/25 of an inch).
It would be a nice distraction, but not an efficient one.
The mass of the Sun is 27 million times the mass of the Moon. As the kids used to say: "you do the math."
The Sun produces energy by fusion of hydrogen into helium. The difference in mass from 4 hydrogen atoms to 1 helium atom is what gets transformed into energy.
This is equivalent to 4 million tonnes per second.
Four million.
Tonnes.
Imagine the E = m c^2 from that.
At best, if we did get these nukes to go off, maybe, perhaps, some very sophisticated equipment could measure the fact that something happened.
However, I suspect that with the high temperature, most detonation systems would fail, the containment would also fail and we'd end up with a ring of radioactive material in a close orbit around the Sun, providing alien species with an indication of the kind of people we really are.
Mind you, I think that they deserve the warning."
The nuke can't reach the Sun in the first place. And if it could have reached it, the effect would be greater than you think: global temperatures would drop to unacceptable levels, and I'm talking about minus hundreds of degrees Celsius.
The nuclear bombs works on the principle of the reactions that takes place in SUN .....the Atom Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb are not 0.001 % of energy that sun has and Sun is itself a nuclear bomb that has been exploded and its still exploding ....i mean when u use a nuclear bomb it lasts for a 15 to 30 minutes similarly a sun is a nuclear bomb itself and it is lasting more than 100 billion or I dont the exact age of sun
It wouldn't work because we cant get the nuke there and if we could it would be too hot, the nuke would probably just disintegrate. And nukes cause extremely high temperatures so it wouldn't put the sun out at all, the sun is just made of gasses.
We could scrounge every piece of fissionable material, take every bit of fusionable material, stick it all into a giant mother of a bomb, and the sun would eat it for breakfast.
We have no technology capable of making the sun a bit smaller!
The nuke wouldn't even be able to reach the sun much less do any sort of damage to it, its the sun for god sake its ******* huge and ridiculously hot, its like tossing a pebble at someone its not going to do ****
Global warming has nothing to do with the sun and nuking it could cause a surge in the sun possibly making a BIG bang that would be bad for us. Global warming is caused by a build up of greenhouse gasses. Mainly carbon dioxide is the issue and plants aren't fast enough to use the CO2 as fast as we produce it by burning fossil fuels. Global warming can't be stopped because its actually a natural earth process but us humans are speeding it up and that's bad because animals can't adapt to new conditions that fast and many species will go extinct which will mess up the food chain causing even more species to go extinct. HUMANITY IS THE BANE OF LIFE...sucks doesn't it. But because oil companies have billion of dollars they can "encourage" politicians to keep using fossil fuels instead of moving on to greener energy like using sunlight, wind, water and even bacteria!!
Well... no, for 2 reasons.
1. The sun is basically a giant nuclear reactor, and a nuke would do nothing.
2. It would blow up Earth (If we did blow it up).
I think you've been watching Armageddon. Don't let it go to your head.
This would only make things worse. The sun would get bigger. I've seen this phenomenon in action when nuking marshmallows in the microwave.
You're going to grow up to be a great climate scientist one day.
During the Global COOLING scare of the 1970's some scientists suggested we paint the polar caps black to increase solar collection of energy. Probably a good thing we didn't do that.
Now they are painting mountains white.

But seriously, the Sun is so big, it wouldn't even notice. To put it simply, the Sun is as big as more than 1 million Earth masses put together. It is 1,287,000 times bigger than the Earth. It comprises 99.86% of all of the mass of the entire solar system.
------------------
That way we'd make it a bit smaller and it would like irradiate less heat right?
Uhhh... No
