In about 4 billion years from now, the sun will have turned all its hydrogen fuel into helium. As helium turns into other heavier elements, the sun will swell up and totally engulf Mercury first, then Venus, and probably the Earth. Of course, as the sun swelled, the seas would have boiled and the rocks melted, so I don't think there's much chance for the plants. Assuming the unlikely event that humankind has not destroyed itself, we had better be living somewhere else in 3 billion years Phil

What would happen to the planets if you took away the sun's gravity?

If the sun's gravity suddenly disappeared, the planets would no longer be held in orbit around it. They would continue moving in a straight line due to their inertia, leading them to drift off into space in their respective directions. The solar system as we know it would cease to exist.


What will happen if the sun dies out?

Since the sun is the center of our solar system and all the planets revolve around it's gravity, if the sun's light goes away, all life on Earth will cease, but if the sun physically goes away, all the planets will either be consumed in it's explosion or will drift away.


What would happen if the sun lost gravity?

If the sun were to suddenly lose its gravity, it would no longer be able to hold itself together and would disintegrate. The solar system's planets, including Earth, would no longer be bound by the sun's gravitational pull and would fly off into space in straight lines. This event would lead to chaos and destruction as the entire solar system would lose its stability.


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.


Could the Planets Survive Without the Sun?

No, the planets in our solar system rely on the Sun for light, energy, and gravity to maintain their orbits. If the Sun were to disappear, the planets would no longer have a source of heat and light, and they would eventually drift off into space in various directions.

What would happen to planets and their moons if there were no gravity?

If there was no gravity, the Sun and and the planets would never have formed.


What would happen if the sun loses its gravitational pull on the planets?

The planets would slowly start to randomly go in directions, eventually colliding into the sun, or other planets.


What will happen to the planets in our solar system if our sun dies?

All the planets will explode with the sun or freeze because there won't be a big enough heat source to keep them warm ( but they will definitely spread out in both cases


Is it true that when the sun dies all the other planets die too?

only the two closest planets will die when the sun dies in 4 billion years


What would happen if the suns gravity did not pull the planets tword it?

The planets would no longer follow their orbital paths around the Sun. They would move away from the Sun and travel in straight lines.


What would happen if planets were closed to the sun were to slow down to their orbits of the sun?

Currently the gravitation pull of the Sun is balanced by the momentum the planets have due to their velocities. If the Planets were to slow down they would be pulled closer to the Sun. They could be pulled into the Sun or regain stable orbits as the Sun's gravity increased their speeds again.


What would happen if the planets farther from the sun were caused to move faster as their orbit around the sun?

The orbit would increase in size (the planet would orbit farther from the sun).


What will happen to all life if the sun dies?

The most probable outcome is that there would be a HUGE Ice Age. yet that will not happen


What will happen to earth if sun dies?

Earth dies too.Either one of two things will happen: 1. The amount of helium in the sun will get so small and the amount of carbon dioxide will get so big, that the Earth will be swallowed by the sun.or2. The sun will explode and form into a big black hole and Earth and all the other planets will be going in the black hole.


If the earth, sun and the moon were the only planets, what would happen?

Every one will die from asteroids.


What would happen if Earth expanded to 715 million miles in diameter?

It would engulf the sun and most of the planets.


What would happen if the sun was replaced by R136a1?

R136a1's heat would probably vaporize all of the planets.
