How will the solar system end?

Answer 1

Our sun is around 4.5 billion years old, and in all of that time it has been steadily using up it's nuclear fuel (hydrogen). This process will continue for billions of years to come (estimates say around 5 billion), until the sun has no more, or at least not enough, hydrogen to burn. When this happens, the sun will start to burn helium instead. The core will contract and the outer layers will cool and expand. At this stage the sun will become a Red Giant. The outer layers will continue to expand, the core will continue to contract, and helium atoms in the core will start to fuse together, forming carbon atoms. Since carbon atoms cannot be compressed any further, the core of the sun will become stable, releasing very little energy (the sun will cool). The outer layers will drift off into space, becoming a nebula. During the expansion process, all of the planets in the solar system will be either destroyed (inner planets), or have their atmospheres completely burned away (gas giants).

Answer 2

well we don't exactly know yet our solar system name is called the milky way the sun comes around swallowing planets there were 20 planets in the solar system but now we are down to eight planets i guess the sun found Pluto =( probably when the sun gets all the planets besides where did you hear that the system could blow up.

Answer 3

The Sun is expected to eventually get brighter and brighter, until it very briefly (for a few million years) becomes a red giant. Then it will eventually collapse into a white dwarf.As to the planets, some of them may well get thrown out into space before that, or after that, due to gravitational interactions between our Sun and other stars that happen to pass by very closely.

Answer 4

In about 5 billion times, the sun will come to an end of its supply of hydrogen. It will then become a red giant, with a radius which will engulf the orbits of the inner planets and possibly the earth. At this stage it will be "burning" helium. In at most a billion years, it will run out of helium and the outer shell will be blown away. The core will collapse to form a white dwarf which will gradually radiate away its energy to become a black dwarf.

Answer 5

The solar system probably with never be fully destructed, but the Earth is expected to explode before 4356.

Answer 6

The eight planets will each get 1/8th ownership of the solar system. Pluto is out of the will.

Answer 7

2billion years time maybe?
