The average density of the Sun is only around 1.5 times that of water, so it should tell you something about how temperature can compensate for the effects of gravity; even at the core, which is around 150 times denser than water, the temperature is so high, it behaves as a fluid.

Still all plasma

It would be one hell of a sight to see an asteroid attempt to "hit" the sun, given it would probably vaporize before it actually touches the surface. If one was large enough, and traveled fast enough at it, and if the sun was not spouting prominences and flares in its direction, it should look like a big splash.

But then again, the Sun is roughly 1 million times larger in volume than the earth. And an asteroid that we are talking about is....how much smaller? 1 million times smaller than that? So an asteroid that would even show a "splash" has to be a trillion times larger than a regular dinosaur-eliminating asteroid.

In the end it would probably look like a sparkler firecracker when it gets about halfway past the orbit of Mercury (between Sun & Mercury).

We can also just send Chuck Norris to the moon and flying side-kick it out of orbit in the direction of the Sun. He'll have to do it at least 2 more times though to get past Venus and Mercury (unless of course they aren't nearby to begin with).[rofl]

As for where to hit on the earth....Antarctica. Preferably as perpendicular to the ground as possible (to melt in the atmosphere more), and aiming at England. This way the majority of the shock waves won't hit any land until it reaches Greenland. Also, if it was during our winter season that would be better, since it would be the summer season in the south pole and thus a hotter atmosphere to begin with.

And as for protection, that is what a Hydrogen bomb is for. It can do more damage in the vacuum of space than an atom bomb can do (I believe it's because the H-bomb is a neutron bomb / fusion bomb). Who am I kidding? We will just use about 6. Hell, even detonate it after it enters about 1 mile in or something. "Deflection" works if it is far enough away, but after it passes the Earth, it NEEDS to be destroyed since the new orbit it would have plotted may dump it back onto us again someday.
