The Sun will never explode.

Our Sun will never explode. The truth is, some stars run out of energy and die out like a light bulb, others explode. Based on the small size of the Sun... I think we'll be fine. Our Sun will not explode. Feel free to judge, I may be wrong on some things.

  • Billions of years down the road the milky way galaxy and Andromeda galaxy will collide that will be cataclysmic destruction, the two galaxies will tear each other to shreds, and speaking from an avid science fan the sun won't explode but implode as it collapses on itself due to the lack of material in its core to keep itself going, Then it will explode due to Immense pressures and shot out w.e is left across the unknown

  • It will merely expand to the size of a Red Giant, swallowing the inner planets, before receding again into a White Dwarf

    You're right. It's going to implode. [quote]I think we'll be fine.[/quote] Without a Sun...? [spoiler]What is Destiny teaching you people? First they think we can live on Jupiter and Saturn, now they think we can live without a Sun?[/spoiler]

  • Dude, I will be amazed if human civilization survives the next 100 years without degrading into a climate change induced Mad Max post-apocalyptic wasteland, so I'm not too worried about what the sun might do in a few billion years.

    • The sun will expand to a distance past the earth, then eventually implode on itself.

      • It will implode. When the output energy from the fusion becomes weaker than its gravity it will implode and release a mass ejection of charged particles as it re-stabilises in its new state.

        • It doesn't have enough mass to go nova, if that's what you mean. It will most likely turn to a red giant, which will engulf Earth, blow off its outer layer and slowly cool from a red dwarf to a dead star. Kinda depressing.

        • The earth is coping with a human population that is out of control & cant be sustained, pollution on a catastrophic level while at the same time all the earths natural resources are running low, we are so busy looking for ways to kill each other that we have forgot the very essence of life & that is to live. The human species is on a road to destruction & the dumbest thing is that we know it & we do nothing about it. Do you really think that whether the sun explodes or not in a billion years is a huge priority? [spoiler]Nope, because the earth would have been a dead rock for a billion yrs already.[/spoiler]

          I agree with the guy before me, we'll find a way to make ourselves extinct LONG before the sun consumes our planet. But I recall being told in school that as our sun essentially runs out of energy/fuel, it will expand exponentially and engulf a number of planets before shrinking back down into a white dwarf. And since I was young and impressionable at that time, I still believe that to this day.

        • ? We will be fine. Nothing will happen to us since we live such short lives. Our sun is too small to turn into a supernova but it will die nevertheless eventually. The same process of the dying star occurs, the core will run out of hydrogen fuel, it will contract under the weight gravity but hydrogen fusion in the upper layer actually causes expansion. The dying sun will become a red giant, at the core, helium will fuse into carbon and when the helium runs out...it'll cool and expand some more yay...then the upper layer will eject some elemental materials and form a planetary nebula. The core cools into a white dwarf and then into a theoretical black dwarf that is invisible. The end.

        • By explode, I'm assuming you mean Supernova. Supernova explosions only occur with stars at least (I believe) 7x solar mass. In other words, stars that are at least 7 times the size of our sun. No, our sun won't go supernova. However, it will expand in the form of a Red Giant. This bloating of the sun will be so severe that it will reach beyond the orbit of the Earth. Consequently, Earth will be engulfed and our planet will be no more. After this layer of the sun dissipates (and our solar system has gone haywire), what will be left is the exposed core of the sun. That's the end of the show. For the rest of its life the core will silently glow and radiate its leftover energy until after billions upon billions of years, the light will slowly fade until it can no longer be seen. It will then become a brown dwarf, forever suspended as a remnant of what it once was. A rather sad death, if you ask me. That's estimated to be about 5 billions years or so from now, so on the cosmic timeline, we have a decent amount of time. By then, humanity will either have moved, found out a way to halt the sun's death, or be extinct. [spoiler]Was there anything incorrect with what I said? I don't think I got anything incorrect.[/spoiler]

          • Why are worried about our sun going supernova? It's going to be a few billion years before that becomes a concern.

            • You dumbass fūck! Our sun will run out of energy in a few 100 million years, start expanding, engulf the solar system, and explode.
