[REQUEST] How much force/energy is needed to destroy the Sun using a comet the size of Charon if it is composed entirely of iron?

Orders of magnitude (energy)

This list compares various energies in joules (J), organized by order of magnitude.


Charon (moon)

Charon, also known as (134340) Pluto I, is the largest of the five known natural satellites of the dwarf planet Pluto. It was discovered in 1978 at the United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., using photographic plates taken at the United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS). With half the diameter and one eighth the mass of Pluto, it is a very large moon in comparison to its parent body. Its gravitational influence is such that the barycenter of the Pluto–Charon system lies outside Pluto.
