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

the sun still has 5million years to live...

but it will run out of hydrogen somehow...

currently the is a yellow dwarf, when it runs out of hydrogen, it will turn into a red giant which will then expand and will touch the orbit line of venus or beyond (earth) and swallow it up... this will destroy live on earth completely

the planets after earth will be safe as they are far away...

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


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

the planets would not receive heat from the sun and all life on earth would cease to exist. also the planets would not rotate or be held in place. the sun is what holds the planets together in orbit.


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 sun lost gravity?

because the planets use the sun's gravitaional pull if it lost it all the planets would spiral out wards and earth would freeze because of no heat.


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 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 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.
