What If the Sun Exploded Tomorrow?

This is

if and this is

what

would happen if the Sun

exploded

tomorrow

that star at the center of our solar system that ball of super hot plasma that gives us heat and energy and an amazing complexion well, it's a time bomb the Sun It is about 10 billion years old, but it is only expected to last about 5 billion more years. After that, the Sun will expand into a red giant, then shrink into a white dwarf, a dying star cooling over the years. In the next billion years, of course, we will all have plenty of time.

None of that happened anymore, but can you imagine what it would be like to see the Sun explode before your very eyes with a name like supernova? You would think that a solar explosion would be the most magnificent fireworks display the world has ever seen. seen, but in reality you probably wouldn't see anything, the Sun is 150 million kilometers from Earth and it takes 8 minutes for light from the Sun to reach us and while that may seem very far away in terms of supernovae, we can't stand a For Earth to be completely safe from a supernova, we would need to be at least 50 to 100 light years away, but the good news is that if the Sun were to explode

tomorrow

, the resulting shock wave would not be strong enough to destroy the Earth. the entire earth only the side facing the sun would boil instantly the lucky other half would experience a temperature rise that would be 15 times hotter than the current surface temperature of the sun and permanent darkness and without the mass of the sun to keep us in orbit Earth would probably start out floating in space while the remaining inhabitants desperately fight to stay alive, there is a chance that our planet could enter orbit around another star that could provide the same light and heat as our Sun, but by the time that happens we would all be far away.

If we knew in advance the day the Sun would explode, then we could buy ourselves up to 1000 years of time, provided we had the resources to sustain ourselves during that time and could be just a few meters underground where you walk. The Earth maintains a temperature of about 17 degrees, so if we had enough time to prepare, civilization could continue living by moving underground to a huge network of fortified bunkers. One week after the explosion, the Earth's surface temperature would drop to -18 degrees within a year. Temperatures would plummet to approximately -73 degrees at this point. The oceans would begin to freeze from top to bottom within 1,000 years.

The Earth's atmosphere would freeze and collapse leaving everything left on the surface exposed to cosmic radiation and meteorite impacts, hopefully by that time we would have found a new home, the good news is that if the Sun were to explode and It would happen eventually, it wouldn't happen overnight, when the Sun dies, it will be a long, slow, arduous process that will take place over billions of years. The Sun will get hotter and brighter and begin to expand during this process, losing 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 the Earth, which know maybe. new life could form.

Can you imagine a method for Earth a new humanoid species? It's hard to predict what our galaxy will look like billions of years from now, and it's especially hard to imagine our solar system without the big golden anchor that holds us all together, but one day. In the far, far future, the Sun will expand and then shrink, perhaps leaving room for a new beginning to take its place, and if by some miracle humanity still exists at that point where we might be living, can you imagine? your descendants are born? a space station well, that's a story for another and yes
