Our Sun is a stable star but, that's not the way things will always be. In about 6.4 billion years from now the Sun's Hydrogen fuel supply will run low. Then the Sun will swell up and will become about 100,000,000 miles across during it's Red Giant phase. It will become about the size of were earths orbit is and devour it. Mercury, Venus, and Earth will have been engulfed in the Sun. The outer planets will live on. After the red giant phase, the sun will explode in a supernova and all that will be left is the core. The outer planets warmed up during the red giant phase and will continue to orbit the white dwarf core.

Tropical zones have stable year-round temperatures because of their?

Tropical zones have stable year-round temperatures because of their close proximity to the equator where they constantly experience the sun overhead.


What is the gravity of the Sun balanced by?

The gravity of the Sun is balanced by the outward pressure from nuclear fusion occurring in its core. This pressure pushes outward, counteracting the force of gravity pulling everything towards the Sun's center, maintaining the Sun's stable size and shape.


How doesnt the sun fall?

The sun doesn't fall because it is constantly in a state of balance between gravitational forces and its own inertia. While gravity from the mass of the sun pulls it toward the center of the Milky Way galaxy, its high velocity allows it to travel in a stable orbit rather than being pulled directly into the center. This balance of forces creates a stable orbital path, preventing the sun from falling into any particular point in space.


What keeps the planets from being pulled to the sun's surface by gravity?

The planets are in stable orbits around the sun due to the balance between their forward motion, which wants to keep them moving in a straight line, and the sun's gravitational pull, which attracts them towards its center. This balance of forces results in the planets continuously falling towards the sun but also moving sideways fast enough to remain in a stable orbit.

Is the sun breaking apart?

No, the sun is not breaking apart. It is a stable star that is undergoing nuclear fusion in its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing energy in the process. The sun is expected to remain stable for billions of years to come.

For the sun to be stable the inward and outward forces within the sun must be?

balanced. The inward force is gravity, which wants to collapse the sun, while the outward force is generated by nuclear fusion in the core which produces energy and heat, preventing collapse. These forces balance each other, keeping the sun stable.


Will Pluto ever float away?

No. Pluto has a stable orbit around the sun.


How do planets only orbit around the sun and not go everywhere in space?

Planets orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force between the sun and the planet. The planet's velocity and distance from the sun are balanced in such a way that it follows a stable orbit path. This balance allows the planet to remain in a relatively stable position around the sun without drifting off into space.


Which force makes earth and sun stable in its orbit?

The gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun is what keeps them stable in their orbit. This force is responsible for the motion of celestial bodies in space and for maintaining the balance between their gravitational attraction and the centrifugal force of their orbit.
