What If Outer Space Was Breathable?

What If Outer Space Was Breathable?

Imagine yourself on a routine Space Walk when an unexpected twist occurs – your helmet becomes loose. Instead of suffocating, you inhale the refreshing cosmic air. But just how extensive would this breathable space atmosphere be? What causes the sudden amplification of sound in the vacuum of space? And most importantly, could this extraordinary scenario spell doom for our entire solar system? Dive into the realm of speculation as we explore the fascinating possibilities of a breathable outer space in this intriguing "What If" scenario.

the atmosphere you breathe here on Earth

consists of 78 nitrogen 21 oxygen and

Trace Amounts of other gases it's that

molecular oxygen that is essential for

life

molecular oxygen is rare beyond the 10

000 kilometers that the atmosphere

extends above the Earth's surface

in space oxygen atoms bind with space

dust

they react with hydrogen atoms and

create water ice instead of molecular

oxygen

but what if we could find breathable air

all the way to the edges of the

heliosphere

that's the boundary where the Sun's

gravity is no longer as strong as that

of other stars

would an expansive atmosphere mean you

could travel anywhere in space and

breathe like you do here on Earth

breathable universe and that's what

now because unlike my shirt this deal

won't last

besides that surprising breath of fresh

air there would be some other big

changes you'd hear of

you'd now be able to listen to the sun

and the other planets

in the vacuum of space sound can't

travel

that's because there are too few

molecules between the planets and the

stars to carry the vibrating sound waves

but in this new space atmosphere those

sound waves could travel great distances

so you'd be able to hear everything loud

and clear

the sun is constantly vibrating at

different frequencies it would be so

loud that it would seem deafening even

considering the great distance between

our star and the Earth's surface it

would still reach your ears at a volume

of

125 decibels

imagine going about your daily routine

to a soundtrack similar to church bells

only it would be as loud as thousands of

police sirens

this would be annoying but it wouldn't

be your biggest problem

in the vacuum of space there's no

friction

that means all the planets and moons

orbit the sun without losing speed

or at least losing it very very slowly

but now with outer space filled with air

all the planets would be slamming into

air particles at very high speeds

the Earth would experience the same fate

as the asteroids that enter our planet's

atmosphere

the friction causes them to heat up and

burn

so with the Earth currently orbiting the

Sun at a velocity of 30 kilometers per

second all that friction would leave us

with nothing more than scorched surfaces

and this would be far from the end of

the chaos

eventually the moon would slow to a

complete stop

yeah then Earth's gravity would pull the

Moon closer and that would result in a

devastating Collision

if you survived through the scorched

Earth this crash would be the end for

the whole planet

it would tear the Earth apart

the rest of the solar system wouldn't

fare much better with so much air in it

our solar system could turn into a black

hole

this is because all this air would have

mass

and with the radius of the heliosphere

spanning 90 astronomical units

that's a lot of mass

yeah about 5 billion times more than the

sun itself

so if the sun's gravitational pull made

all this Mass compressed toward it the

solar system would become increasingly

dense

if all that air compressed into a space

about 80 percent of the Earth's diameter

dude witnessed the creation of a black

hole

I I mean if you were still alive at that

point

that's unlikely

that black hole would be about 1200

times more massive than the supermassive

black hole in the middle of the Milky

Way

okay at this point you and I would be

long gone and

it might be for the best because it

looks like these two gravitational

monsters are about to collide

but that's a story

for another
