Why does the sun always have a black background in images? If you're looking at the sun shouldn't it be daytime? And no I'm not trolling.

you could have posted one of those supposed images, h+r

I am dumb, but my guess is that those pictures are always taken using some sort of filter, like as if you put an eclipse glass in front of the camera.

if you take a picture of the sun at night, you won't be able to see the blue steam because sun is much colder then. you simply attach a camera to the other side of the world to take pictures of the sun at night.

Most of the big detailed photos are taken from space, and the exposure has to be extremely low so that you can see details on the sun's surface.
Here's a photo of the sun with a blue background because it's taken from the ground and during an eclipse, so the exposure can be high enough to capture the sky.

Because there is nothing behind the sun, and nothingness looks dark.

it would look blinding. They probably filter the light around it so you can actually see the suns features

You have this giant ball in the sky you're not allowed to look at and you don't find that at all suspicious?

All this time liberal science has been denying humans the freedom to stare at that bright round thing in the sky and to discover what it really looks like.

Basically: >>15581205 The sun is so much brighter than anything else in the sky that any mechanism, be it a camera or an eye, has to operate in a range of 'brightness tolerance' that any other light source is negligible/undetectable. If you think about it, the same principles apply to the sensitivity range of any measuring device or sensation, be it sound, or touch, or whatever.

This reminds me of this video saw a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-OCfiglZRQ
Basically, white and black are different shades of the same hue, and thus different brightnesses of the same "color." What looks black under a coarser range of sensitivity can actually look white under a finer range. In fact, if you get a sensitive as microwaves, the whole night sky constantly glows with the "microwave background."
