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).
FALSE. The outer edge of the "Oort Cloud" of comets marks the end of the Solar System.
There are a few steps of a solar system project. You first have to study the solar system.
Some examples of words that start with "solar" are solarium, solar panel, solar system, and solar energy.
1) I am learning about the solar system in school. 2) I would love to see the solar system!. 3) Earth is a planet in the solar system. 4) The sun is the biggest star in the solar system.
The Heliocentric picture of the solar system is a model because it was given as a theory by Copernicus to describe the solar system. In prior centuries people believed that the earth was the center of the solar system.
Extra debris was swept out away from our solar system by the sun's radiation and solar wind towards the end of the formation of our solar system.
Wonders of the Solar System ended on 2010-04-04.
The sun is in front of the solar system and Pluto is at the far end of the Solar system.
No. BY definition, an exo-planet is OUTSIDE our solar system, orbiting some other star.
yes there is. a solar system is the sun and everything that revolves around it. and there is many suns out there, one is so big that it makes our sun look like a pinpoint in paper. so yes there is an end to our solar system because there is a begining to another.
FALSE. The outer edge of the "Oort Cloud" of comets marks the end of the Solar System.
NASA can predict the speeds of the two Voyager craft very accurately. The main problem is defining where the "end" of the solar system is.
As of the end of 2010, planetary astronomers have documented about 245 known satellites of the planets in the solar system.
In 2012 the solar system will be exactly the same. Because 2012 is just another year there's no such thing as the end of the world
Well, it's estimated that the Sun will have expanded into a red giant star in about 5000 million years. That will destroy much of the inner solar system.Before then it will have made the Earth uninhabitable.However, even then there will be some remains of the solar system. In particular the Sun will have become a white dwarf star.So, I think the end of the solar system as we know itwill be in a few thousand million years.
"Our solar system." The "part of our galaxy" that's in our solar system is the solar system.
Our Solar System is called the Solar System, Why?, what do you Aliens call it.
