For about 2 billion years the sun will fuse helium into carbon and some oxygen, but there's less energy in those reactions. News / Hard Science / Albert Einstein Meanwhile, Earth will be baking and turning into a steam bath of a planet, with its oceans evaporating and breaking down into hydrogen and oxygen.As the water gets broken down, the hydrogen will escape to space and the oxygen will react with surface rocks. It could expand as far out as Even if the expanding dying sun doesn’t reach Earth, the sun’s high temperatures will completely burn the planet. At that point, the sun won't be able to generate as much energy, and will start to collapse under its own weight. “It will then spend about a billion years expanding and burning helium in its core, with a shell around it where hydrogen is still able to fuse into helium.”​As the sun sheds its outer layers, its mass will decrease, loosening its gravitational hold on all of the planets. I have no idea of what you mean by “If the Earth dies.” The earth will never die, though it has supported countless lives for eons. Jaime Trosper December 18th 2013. The only possible planets we could inhabit would be Pluto and other dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt.According to Schröder and Smith, however, there is a possibility for Neptune to become a new home for mankind. As the helium continues to accumulate, the sun’s core will shrink. Since the sun is not immortal, one day it will die, and when it does, trust me when I say you do not want to be around. It won't happen fast enough to save the Earth, but if Eventually, though, the hydrogen in the sun's outer core will get depleted, and the sun will start to collapse once again, triggering another cycle of fusion. That weight can't generate enough pressure to fuse the helium as it did with the hydrogen at the beginning of the star's life. When the sun becomes empty, it will become unstable and begin to pulse.

And one day, about 4 billion or 5 billion years from now, the sun will burn through its last gasp of hydrogen and start burning helium instead.“Once hydrogen has stopped burning in the core of the sun, the star has formally left the main sequence and can be considered a red giant,” Scudder said. As a result, So, in roughly 3.5 billion years, the sun will actually shine 40 percent brighter than it does today, which will result in the melting of the poles, the boiling of the oceans, and a complete loss of Earth’s atmosphere. Once nearly all the hydrogen in the Sun's core has fused into helium, it won't be able to produce as much energy and will begin to collapse under its own weight. The latest research on degenerative cognitive disorders. By the time the sun gets ready to become a red giant, Mars will have been inside the zone for quite some time. The light and heat produced from this process will make the Sun shine even brighter.

Due to this, the Earth's atmosphere could become similar to Venus' in that mostly nitrogen and carbon dioxide will make it up.If you're thinking that we might be living on Mars by the time and thus will be safe from the Sun's effects, the Red Planet won't manage to avoid being baked. Answer: Within the Christian faith, there is a significant amount of confusion regarding what happens after death. Apparently, it will expand into a red giant and vaporize the Earth.The Sun won't die anytime soon as it is estimated to go out in around 7 to 8 billion years from now. Once the last bits of helium turn into heavier elements, there's no more radiant energy to keep the sun puffed up against it's own weight. So when the sun's helium dries up, it's pretty much all downhill from there.Once the sun has emptied its fuel reserves, it will become unstable and start to pulse.With every pulse, the sun will shrug off layers of its outer atmosphere until all that's left is a hot, heavy core, surrounded by a planetary nebula.With each passing day this core, known as a white dwarf, will cool and fade hopelessly out of existence (into a cold black dwarf), as if it didn't once host the most lively planet ever discovered in the sweeping canvas of the universe.But don't worry. One effect Schröder and Smith note is that stars like the sun lose mass over time, primarily via the solar wind. The latest science on what makes us grow old or stay young. In reality, the journey is different for everyone, but there are a few basic steps most souls ascend through as they cross. Can you solve our toughest math and logic problems? The earth will never die, though it has supported countless lives for eons. Even if our planet spends the rest of its aeons escaping aliens, dodging space rocks and avoiding nuclear apocalypse, the day when our own sun destroys us is coming Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?
