Because the gravitational force is insufficient. There is not enough mass in either body to cause collapse.

Did earth just appear?

No, it was formed as part of the collapse of the Nebular which formed the Sun.


How is solar energy from the Sun transferred to the Earth?

It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.

What effect will be there on rotation of the earth if sun collapse to black hole?

If the Sun were to collapse into a black hole, its mass would remain the same, so the Earth's orbit and rotation around the black hole would continue as normal. However, without the Sun's light and heat, the Earth would quickly cool down and life would cease to exist.


Thoes the sun move westwards around the earth?

No, the sun does not move westwards around the Earth. From our perspective on Earth, it appears as though the sun moves across the sky from east to west due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. In reality, the sun appears to move because of our planet's rotation, not because it is moving around the Earth.


The sun seem to 'set' in the west why?

It doesnt seem to it just does because the Earth rotates from West to East.


What are the chances of earth falling through the sun's surface?

Zero, assuming current conditions. However, when the sun runs out of hydrogen in roughly 5 billion years, it will expand and then collapse. It is not clear whether earth will remain a burned out cinder orbiting the dead sun, or will be literally consumed (falling through the earth's surface) during the sun's expansion.


What will the sun turn into when it runs out of fuel for fusion will it end life on earth?

It is postulated that towards the end of its life cycle, the sun will become a red giant, which will consume several of the inner planets, possible including the earth. Even if the diameter of the sun does not expand to the point where the earth is consumed, the increased heat and radiation due to the sun's closer proximity will exterminate life on earth. Eventually, the sun will collapse into a white dwarf.


Why doesnt earth just simply fall into the sun?

The Sun's gravity pulls the Earth towards the Sun but the Earth is also carried forward in its orbit by its momentum. Although the Earth curves towards the Sun continuously, it never falls in. The reason was discovered by Isaac Newton.


Will the earth float in the sun?

No, it will not. When the sun goes 'supernova' roughly 4.5 billion years from now, it will expand and eat up mercury and venus, and the heat and gases will burn earth to a cinder. No water and little or no atmosphere will remain. The sun will collapse into its final stage as a white dwarf, and earth will more than likely remain a charred and lifeless satelite of the 'sun'.
