If sun stop producing energy how long would it take to become noticeably dimmer?

When the sun runs out of it's hydrogen fuel (in about 5 billion years) it will begin shedding it's outter layers and become a Red Giant, swallowing Mercury, Venus and probably Earth. But if you're asking how long it would take for us to notice if the sun were to spontaneously shut off, it would take about 8 and a half minutes. That's how long it takes the sun's light to reach Earth.

∙ 16y agoThe light from the sun takes about 8.5 minutes to reach Earth. If the sun were suddenly extinguished, we wouldn't know about it for 8 and half minutes. So, I guess you could say we would be "in the dark" for 8 and half minutes before we were actually in the dark.

What is the function of mitochondria in cells.?
Producing energy.
How does an ATP become an ADP in photosynthesis and what is released in the process?
When producing diPGA by PGA. Energy is released there by ATP
How many bulbs can a dimmer switch?
the dimmer should have a rating on it in Watts. dimmers are not suitable for low energy lamps though
Can energy save bulb be used with any dimmer?
Compact florescent do not dim. They are all or nothing. You can use them where you have a dimmer switch. They will come on from about half way to full on. Dimmer switches don't like them and the switch will burn out faster.
Can any dimmer work with energy efficient bulbs?
Yes, if they replace the switch at the wall.
Can a neutron star die If so how What happens?
A neutron star may be considered "already dead"; it has stopped producing energy. A neutron star will gradually get dimmer, as it cools down. If it gathers enough mass from its surroundings, it may turn into a black hole.A neutron star may be considered "already dead"; it has stopped producing energy.

How to save energy by using dimmer?
Dimmer requires less energy for the same reason it is easier for us to lift on pund than twenty pounds; its easier.

Can a dimmer switch help reduce the use of energy in a home?
No. this is because a dimmer switch increases resistance to produce less light. in other words, the dimmer switch converts the electrical energy into other forms such as heat by increasing resistance and is thus not saving energy, but wasting it.
Are Chloroplasts the energy producing parts animal cells?
No, chloroplasts are the energy producing part of plants.
Is saving energy an act of producing energy?
No, saving is not the same as producing. Saving means taking what's already there and making it go further. Producing means actually making energy.

What does the mitochandria do?
Producing energy
Advantages of producing energy?
You can use the energy to survive
Energy spreads from an energy producing source?
yes
