What if the sun disappears?

[Aurelion Star 434]

What if the sun disappears?

What will happen to us?
To our solar system?
 

[Jennabun 1,579]

It would probably be very, very cold. X_____X

The fun will be doubled until everybody dies!!! Yay

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

vsauce covered this one

 

heh, i remember one time this kid quoted his whole video word for word to look smart

 

[Princess-Sunbutt 268]

We would have about eight minutes to live, then we would all be popsicles

[LightFlicker 91]

there could be a second side to this. what if the sun disappeared, and then celestia makes a new sun.

[[NULL] 907]

Well we would freeze to death of course.

 

NVM, I just watched the vsauce video.

Scientist and Engineers would make Sun Bulbs. Just like the sun except not as lethal with UV-A/B/C. Unless with UV rays help out with photosynthesis.

[An Unknown Pony. 370]

Everything will freeze up and we will die

if the sun disappears? 

 

PANIC

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,178]

We would no longer be under its gravity, or heat. So 2 things would happen (both within about 7 minutes) 

 

1: we will be flung out of our normal orbit.

2:The lights would go out, and heat would start leaving the planet.

 

That double whammey would also leave us dead most likely. If not from cold, then by colliding with another celestial body.

Yeah, and all the other planets would be thrown out of their orbit as well..... so.... we all might collide... heh, let's just hope that doesn't happen in the first place

[DubWolf 18,634]

We wouldn't know about it until 8 minutes later. We would probably have enough heat trapped beneath the atmosphere to survive who knows how long before that heat escapes the Earth. We must plan by releasing more greenhouse gases and fuel inefficient cars!!!!

Read "A Pail of Air" written by Fritz Leiber in 1951. Here's a 27 minute radio play version produced in 1956.

@@dusk.night, Did you ever see this Vsauce video? 

 

 

 

(I just realized I'm not the first to post this )

Did no one see the vsauce video. And by then I hope we would've found a way to go to different dimensions/universes/parallel universes and if the sun disappeared we would be flung out of orbit until we could find another star to connect to however if the sun explodes it's stuff would be shot at earth.

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Yeah. If the sun disappeared, we'd still be able to live for... y'know, at least another generation. It'll get colder without the sun, but we have an atmosphere to trap in heat, and we have plenty of fuel sources to burn through to produce more heat, not to mention geothermal energy. 

 

In 2008, the total energy use by humans was 143,851 terawatt-hours. One year is 8765.81 hours. This means the humanity is producing 16.41 TW, on average.

 

The Earth absorbs 240 W/m² from the Sun. Earth's radius is 6,371 km, so its area (with respect to the sun) is 3.14*(6,371 km)², which is 1.27451e14 square meters. So, the total energy absorbed by Earth is 3.05e16 W.

 

This means we need to increase our energy output by 1864 times to reach the Sun's level. Sure, that seems like a lot, but it isn't impossible. It just means we need...

It won't disappear unless those damn Commies blow it up

[Twireadbok 142]

I've dreamed about this TWICE. Each time I zoomed out on the solar system and saw the sun (either disappearing or exploding), then I'm back on earth and everything turns icy. I feel the warmth leaving my body, until its so cold I can not feel anything. It's pretty scary, but of course the sun would never disappear and the heat would not dissapate that quickly. 

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

If the sun disappeared:

 

- It will be all dark and no sunlight

 

- No more trees and plants. Therefore, no more fruits and vegetables and we have to live on meat

 

- Higher chances of flood since the sun won't be there to evaporate water

 

- Many living things, especially us, will die from a lack of Vitamin D

 

- It will be cold everyday

 

In MLP world:

 

- Princess Celestia will stop existing and Luna will get more corrupt and become Nightmare Moon

 

Educated or not, you should know that the sun has an important purpose for the Earth and has important functions. It is part of the reason why living things have the ability stay healthy and survive.

Earth would freeze to death

 

Now the sun is a giant star so if it were to supernova and turn into a black hole, well... the supernova would burn us all first of all then as the sun becomes a black hole (death star) it would pretty much suck up any remnants of the entire plannat 

 

*brains shuts off as midnight approaches* DERP YOU GO

[Celli 4,349]

As a couple of people said, Vsauce (Who you should subscribe to by the way) made a really interesting video on the subject.

[Dewdlz 939]

Luna would rule the night of course. Oh you mean Earth? Ah, we'll live.

 

I hope.

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

If the sun disappeared, we're all gonna die.
