400 Octillion Joules. (400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)

It's not really a fair question, however.

The Death Star, as depicted in the Star Wars Movies, is grossly overpowered for its purpose. It would take a tiny fraction of that energy to simply vaporize the surface and wipe out all life.

Okay, I admit I did not actually calculate the energy required to vaporize a planet. I simply assumed that the energy output of a Sun like star would be sufficient if it were all turned on puny little Alderaan (or Earth).

The Sun outputs 400 Octillion Joules / second.

Why are magnets able to overcome force of gravity?

You don't specifically need a magnet to overcome the force of gravity; ANY force that is stronger than gravity can "overcome" it, at least temporarily. For example, if you lift an object up, you are "overcoming" the force of gravity.


What are some ways you can overcome gravity?

Some ways to overcome gravity include using a rocket propulsion system to generate enough thrust to escape Earth's gravity, utilizing advanced technology like electromagnetic propulsion systems, or harnessing anti-gravity technology if it becomes possible in the future.


Is it possible to fly with magnets"?

No, it is not possible to fly with magnets. Magnets do not have the ability to generate enough lift to overcome gravity and allow for sustained flight.


What forces must a car overcome to move?

A car must overcome several forces to move, including friction (from the tires on the road), air resistance, and gravity. Additionally, the engine must generate enough power to overcome these forces and propel the car forward.


How do you beat gravity on Earth?

To overcome gravity, you must reach "Escape Velocity" to overcome gravity and escape a planet's orbit.

Lift must be than gravity in order for a plane to stay in the air?

Lift generated by the wings of a plane counteracts the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the plane to stay in the air. For a plane to achieve lift greater than gravity, it must generate enough thrust through its engines to maintain forward motion and generate sufficient lift from its wings to overcome the force of gravity.


What does a spacecraft need to overcome?

it needs to overcome the gravity of the earth lol


What did the first rocket have to over come to get in to space?

The first rocket had to overcome Earth's gravity to reach space. It needed to generate enough thrust to propel itself upward and break free from the pull of gravity, allowing it to reach the necessary speed to enter into Earth's orbit.


How you overcome gravity?

Go to space.


To reach outer space rockets must escape what force?

To reach outer space, rockets must escape the force of gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of a mass, such as the Earth. Rockets need to generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and reach escape velocity to enter outer space.
