Coronal heating problem
The optical surface of the Sun (the photosphere) is known to have a temperature of approximately 6,000 K. Above it lies the solar corona, rising to a temperature of 1,000,000–2,000,000 K. The high temperature of the corona shows that it is heated by something other than direct heat conduction from the photosphere.
It is thought that the energy necessary to heat the corona is provided by turbulent motion in the convection zone below the photosphere, and two main mechanisms have been proposed to explain coronal heating. The first is wave heating, in which sound, gravitational or magnetohydrodynamic waves are produced by turbulence in the convection zone. These waves travel upward and dissipate in the corona, depositing their energy in the ambient gas in the form of heat. The other is magnetic heating, in which magnetic energy is continuously built up by photospheric motion and released through magnetic reconnection in the form of large solar flares and myriad similar but smaller events—nanoflares.[
The discovery that a "solar wind" escapes the Sun at between 400 and 700 kilometers per second was a surprise for the nuclear theory.
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 10 and 100 keV. The stream of particles varies in temperature and speed over time. These particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high kinetic energy and the high temperature of the corona.
The solar wind creates the heliosphere, a vast bubble in the interstellar medium that surrounds the solar system.....

WRONG!!!
Yup...indeed, your entire "worry" about "cyanide" is WRONG!!!
Check your history.....this is exactly what happened in the early 20th century (1910), when Halley came by that time. TINY, TINY amounts of the littlest bits of interesting compounds were discovered to have been in the coma/tail, as the Earth encountered it.
It hurt NO ONE! (Unless there were some ignorant fools who panicked.....like the "Heaven's Gate" incident, with the Hale-Bopp comet some years ago).
AND, a lot of hucksters, frauds and shysters made money off the gullible ignorance, too...selling "remedies" to "protect" people from the comet's tail and gases..... PT Barnum was right, about suckers being born every minute.....
Interesting article (commentary)...this is how it opens:
Whether you like it or not, there are a lot of gullible people in the world. It is truly amazing what people will believe. But, what's worse, it is upsetting how many people are out there who try and take advantage of those people. Now I am not going to spend my time addressing all the lies people are falling for on an everyday basis, but I would like to address something that particularly bugs me.
Comet Hysteria and the Millennium
(Seems it was written just before the 21st century began...part of THAT OTHER "hysteria"....).
ADD: Here, so you don't have to search for it, the description of events of Halley's Comet, in 1910:
As Halley's Comet approached the sun in 1910, astronomers announced that Earth would actually pass through the tail of this comet during May of that year. They assured everyone that our planet was safe and suggested the possibility of some spectacular sunsets. Meanwhile, the doomsayers latched onto a potential link: if comets contain a poisonous gas and if Earth is going to pass through the comet's tail, then the people of Earth were in serious danger. Numerous newspapers actually published this story. Astronomers countered by saying the material in the tail was so spread out that there could be no ill affects, but few newspapers published this accurate information. Interestingly, a minor panic arose in some cities and entrepreneurs took advantage of it. They sold "comet pills" which were said to counter the effects of the poisonous gas. The pills sold like crazy. On May 20, after Earth had passed through the tail, everyone who had taken the pills was still alive...but, then, so was everyone else.
,
oh really?? Formaldehyde, graphite, methane, sodium, silicone dioxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, hydrogen cyanide, athanol and ethene....thats just some of the gases and chemical compounds found on comets need i go on?
skill up....

1) Disclose all imformation and data to the general public in regards to an oncoming impact of enough significance to potentially cause an E.L.E the moment it is discovered. At which point the entire global economy is crashed, massive riots and pandemonium fills the streets. Goverment and NASA officals are held responsible and draged from their offices and lynched in the streets. Chaos reigns supreem, until BOOM!! The End.

You are talking, in this post, about the physical STRUCTURE of the Sun, and various temperatures in the chromosphere and other layers, etc.
In the OTHER post you tried to indicate that objects millions of miles away would ALSO encounter increased heat.....your post left that false impression.
The study of the nature of a star, and its various temperatures in its layers, and its structure are just being (conveniently) mis-interpreted by a few fringe wanna-be scientists trying to make a "name" for themselves with this whacked-out "E.U. theory".
The discovery that a "solar wind" escapes the Sun at between 400 and 700 kilometers per second was a surprise for the nuclear theory.
NO it isn't....not to scientists and physicists and solar dynamics experts who devote their careers to this study.
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 10 and 100 keV. The stream of particles varies in temperature and speed over time. These particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high kinetic energy and the high temperature of the corona.

The "charges" are there.....electricity, but very, very, very insignificant amounts of electrical energy. Nuclear fusion WINS that fight, in comparison.

Right, and because the very small volume of gas expands to fill an absolutely huge volume, it means it is very diffuse. It would have fewer molecules per unit volume in it than the best laboratory vacuum we can create here on Earth. In other words, there's not very much there. So there's nothing to worry about.

a comets coma as it passes the sun expands dramatically so much so that it can grow BIGGER than the actual sun,
