What would happen if the stars stopped orbiting the center of the galaxy?

Answer 1

the star that is the centre of our planetary system is the sun. it gives us the necesary light and it provides the vital sunlight for the trees and other living organisams the energy to live. when the stars stop rotating they will loose there gravitational pull that keeps us safe from coliding. the big collision between the planets and stars are the net result and it will cause huge damage to the entire universe.

Answer 2

If you mean that the Earth stopped moving around the sun and remained stationary, it would eventually spiral into the Sun. Another answer One side of the earth would have no day and cool down also all of the plants would die from lack of sunlight and the other half would have no night and get really warm.

Answer 3

It's hard to say without some indication of why this would happen.

Ignoring the mechanics of the event itself, the Earth would fall into the Sun. A straightforward application of Kepler's Third Law shows that this would take about 64 days, though it would become too hot for life to exist (assuming any survived the stopping process) considerably before it actually reached the Sun.

Answer 4

The Sun does not orbit the Earth. If the Earth stopped orbiting the Sun, everything would die because the Earth would slowly freeze.

If the Moon stopped orbiting the Earth, everything would... get along just fine, actually. It would be a little darker at night. Tides would be smaller, and would happen at more or less the same time every day: high tide around noon and midnight; low tide around 6 AM and 6 PM.

Answer 5

If the planets had no foward speed, the force of gravity would cause them to accelerate towards the Sun and fall in. For the Earth that would take about 10 weeks, but after 9 weeks we would have covered only about one quarter the distance.

Answer 6

There would be nothing in the universe but a giant cloud of hydrogen, helium and a few other elements.

Answer 7

if stars didn't exist then I'd fart in ur face

Answer 8

well the sun is a star so if we didnt have the sun it would probably be to cold to live and everything would freeze.
