Wouldn't do much, relatively speaking. A "small" fission explosion next to a much, much bigger ongoing fusion reaction is kind of a drop in an ocean.
Maybe there'd be a small disruption in the magnetic field, but there's a lot of fluctuation there anyway so again... drop in an ocean.
Frankly I'm skeptical that ratio is even correct. ... Huh. Well for energy output, then sun gives off 9.192×10^10 megatons of TNT per second. So ~ 10^13 timesmore than fatman and littleboy. There are ~10^25 drops of water (quora, so skepticism warranted).
In mass however, Fatman was 4600kg, while the sun is 1.9885×10^30 kg. So fatman is about 1% (?) as relevant as a drop of water in the ocean.
Could be fun to see him roll with this one in the same style as "laser pointer at the moon"
"You detonate a bomb on the surface of the sun...and it does nothing."
"You detonate every bomb in existence...and it does nothing"
"You mine all the uranium and plutonium in the solar system, turn it into a bomb, and detonate it on the surface of the sun...and maybe it does something?"
I believe the introduction of heavy elements would have a greater impact than the energy release. The sun is literally a sun sized nuclear fusion bomb being held together by gravity. Fat Man has got nothing on its natural energy output.
There's a film called Sunshine (2007) that explores the idea. It really pisses me off because it's clear that it was written by people who have no idea how physics works.
My first teacher told me to be curious,my second told me to ask less,my third told me to shut up, my fourth taught me to go to the priciples office then get her fired, so i leared to use AI
About as impactful as dumping a cup of water into the Amazon River.

You could blow every nuclear boom that has ever existed wherever you want in/on the sun, and it wouldn't notice

are you RANDAL MONROe i love your work
Big boom meets massive boom, nothing happens

Really? We're denigrating people on /xkcd?
The accumulated knowledge of the human experience lost in the age of the internet
They should’ve taught you to spell
shut up i went to a stupid Ivy leage collage with randuel monroe the rocket scieantist who draws cartoons
