Can earth survive without the sun?

If there was no sun there will not be any centrifugal force for the planets to keep in an elliptical path and if there is no sun then the planet will move out as a stone flying away from a tied thread and probably sun is the primary source of energy the earth without it would be frozen to very low temperatures. -Anandh M


What holds the planets in their orbits?

Planets are held in their orbits by the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force is what allows planets to stay in motion around the sun without flying off into space or falling into the sun.


Where can you live when your sun dies?

When the sun dies, it will expand into a red giant, engulfing the inner planets, including Earth. It is currently not known if human life could survive this scenario. In the far future, humanity may need to find new planetary systems to inhabit.


Why do all the planets orbit the sun?

Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.


Do all planets orbit the sun?

No, not all planets orbit the sun. In our own solar system, all eight classical planets orbit the sun, but there are other planetary systems in the universe where planets may orbit different types of stars or even roam freely without a star.

I believe none. The amount of other energy available would be insignificant, and without energy from the Sun, it would get extremely cold.


Could life life on the Earth survive without the sun?

No, plants cannot survive without sunlight, herbivores cannot survive without plants, and I don't think carnivores and omnivores can survive without herbivores. Besides, they would all freeze to death within a few days anyway.

What innovation could cope with the sun?

There is almost no possible way to cope without the sun. But if you build a spaceship with the right temperature and the right amount of supplies you could survive, but i doubt it.


Where are the outer planets located in relationship to the sun?

They follow orbital paths which, like those of the inner planets, are centered on the sun, but the outer planets, without exception, are farther from the sun than any of the inner planets is.


Why does the planets orbit the sun?

Because the Sun has a great gravitational pull on the planets. Without the Sun the planets would travel in straight lines (ignoring other gravitational forces in the Universe.)


Can the sun swallow all eight planets?

No, the sun cannot swallow all eight planets. The sun is much larger than the planets in our solar system, but it will not engulf them. However, the sun will eventually expand into a red giant and could engulf the innermost planets.
