What If the Sun Exploded Tomorrow?

This is what would happen if the Sun detonated tomorrow. The Sun is the star at the center of our solar system. It is a super-hot plasma orb that gives us heat, energy, and incredible complexions.

bomb The Sun is about 10 billion years old, but it's only expected to last another 5 billion years. After that, it will expand to become a red giant, and then it will contract to become a white dwarf, a dying star that will cool for the next several billion years. Of course, we'll be long gone by then, but can you imagine what it would be like to watch the Sun explode before your very eyes? The Sun is 150 million kilometres away from Earth, and it takes 8 minutes for light from the Sun to reach us. In order for Earth to be completely safe from a supernova, it would need to be at least 50 to 100 light years away. The good news is that if the Sun exploded tomorrow, the resulting shock wave wouldn't be strong enough to destroy the entire planet; only the side facing the Sun would be destroyed.

mass keeping us in orbit earth would likely start floating off into space while its remaining inhabitants desperately struggle to stay alive there is a chance that our planet could lock into orbit around another star that might provide the same light and heat as our Sun but by the time that happened we'd all be long gone if we knew in advance the day that the Sun would explode then we could buy ourselves as many as 1000 years of time provided we had the resources to sustain ourselves for that long and we could just a few metres below the ground you walk on the earth is maintaining a temperature of about 17 degrees so if we had enough time to prepare civilization could continue to live by moving underground into a huge network of fortified bunkers within a week after the explosion the surface temperature on earth would drop to minus 18 degrees within a year temperatures would plummet to about minus 73 degrees at this point the oceans would begin to freeze from the top down within 1,000 years The Earth's atmosphere would congeal and disintegrate, exposing the surface to cosmic radiation and meteor strikes. hopefully by that point we'd have found ourselves a new home the good news is that if the Sun were to explode and it will eventually happen it wouldn't happen overnight when the Sun does die it will be a long slow arduous process taking place over billions of years the Sun will get hotter and brighter and it will start to expand during this process it will lose its outer layers to the cosmos leading to the creation of other stars and planets in the same way that the violet burst of the Big Bang created Earth who knows maybe new life could form can you imagine a method earth a new humanoid species it's hard to predict how our galaxy might look billions of years from now and it's especially hard to imagine our solar system without the great golden anchor that keeps us all together but one day in the very very distant future the Sun will expand and then it will shrink maybe leaving room for a new start to take its place and if by some miracle humanity still exists at that point where might we be living can you imagine your descendants being born on a space station well that's a story for another what if......subscribe for more curiosity
