It's easier if you do it at night.

Also, it can be done, despite it being hard: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/parker-solar-probe/

good point, but still :

Parker will fly more than seven times closer to the Sun than any spacecraft. Over seven years, the spacecraft will complete 24 orbits around the Sun. At its closest approach, the spacecraft will come within about 3.9 million miles (6.2 million kilometers) of the Sun.

so it still orbits it, and won't get closer than 6 MILLION km
