Aditya-L1, named after the Sun's core, aims to study Sun's behaviour by placing itself in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth.

Aditya-L1 Mission is India's first solar mission planned by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Earlier the name was Aditya -1, which has been renamed as Aditya-L1 Mission.

The sun's corona
It appears as white streamers or plumes of ionized gas that flow outward into space. Temperatures in the sun's corona can get as high as 3.5 million degrees F (2 million degrees C).
The Aditya L1 mission will be launched by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), which also launched Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 and the Mars Orbiter spacecraft in 2013.
While many said that it is going to be a success, a few still have doubts. Out of 8,317 people, a high 93 per cent said ISRO's Aditya L1 mission will be successful.
Will Aditya L1 land on the Sun? No. Unlike Chandrayaan 3, where the Vikram lander, with Pragyan rover inside, softly touched down near the lunar south pole, the solar probe will instead be positioned at the first Lagrange point in the Earth-Sun...
It's slated for launch on September 2, 2023. How much time will aditya l1 take to reach sun, specifically the L1 point? Aditya L1 will take approximately 4 months to reach the L1 point from its launch date.
