What was the climate 100 billion years ago?

I feel pretty confident in stating here that there was no climate to gauge if one takes into account that there was no 100 billion years ago, as it would've been before the big bang (13-15 billion yrs ago) which we now consider is when time began.


How old is the oldest stingray?

Stingrays generally have a lifespan of 15-25 years in the wild. The oldest recorded stingray lived to be about 30 years old.


What will happen to the human race in 2 billion years?

Many things will happen in the universe between 1 and 5 billion years from now. To name a few: The Milky Way (our galaxy) is on a collision course with the Andromeda Galaxy. The two spiral galaxies are said to collide in 3 billion years. In about 4 or 5 billion years, the Sun will begin to run out of it's Hydrogen fuel, which it converts to Helium in a process called Nuclear Fusion. The Sun, it's hydrogen fuel exhausted, will begin burning it's Helium. As it does so, it will cool and swell, becoming a red giant. When the Sun enters its Red Giant stage, it will expand and engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth and Mars. Eventually, it will run out of Helium fuel to burn, and will 'die'. Its layers will be released in a 'sigh', and all that will remain of our Sun would be a white dwarf, and a possible nebula, or cloud of dust and gas that is the remnant of our former star. Perhaps even the ghosts of its former planets will orbit around it. After a few trillion years, the White Dwarf that would be left over would cool down, becoming a cold, dead "Black Dwarf" approximately the size of our Earth. Because the universe is estimated to be between 15-20 billion years old, there are no Black Dwarves at this time. There likely won't be any within our lifetimes, either. There are too many variables to process (at least by any methods we possess at our current stage of evolution as a species) in order to have any idea as to what will happen in exactly four billion years. There are some estimates, however. In four billion years, our sun will be about two to three billion years from dying out. The universe is expected to keep on expanding. And other forecasts have been made, as well.


How old would be a 15 years old if he or she lived on mercury?

Nobody would live very long on Mercury.But I think what you're asking is: "How many times does Mercury revolve aroundthe sun in the same time that it takes the Earth to make 15 revolutions ?"Since Mercury's period of revolution is 87.97 Earth days, I get 62.3 Mercury yearsin 15 Earth years.


How can the universe be only some 14 billion years old when it can be contemplated that it could be 20 or 30 or more billions of years old?

The universe is actually about 15 billion years old. I'm not sure where you got the statistic that the Hubble Space Telescope can see 20 billion light years into space; I think you're off by a factor of three or so.

What will be the reason to the end of the sun?

most likely, the end of the sun would be because of its age. it only has about 4 billion years left. A star's lifetime is about 15-20 billion years.

How long is the sun going to last?

The sun is expected to last for another 5 billion years. It is currently in the middle of its main sequence phase, which is the longest phase in its life cycle.


What is the expected life span of a star the size of the sun?

The size of the star is not as important as the class of the star. A star like the Sun which is classified Gv2, yellow dwarf, has a life span of about 10 to 12 billion years. The Sun is now 4.6 billion years old, which makes the Sun middle aged. Alpha Centuari B is an Orange Dwarf about the same size as our sun, but is a Kv5 Star, has a life span of 15 to 30 billion years.

Are there galaxies that exist in the early times?

According to present knowledge and models of the Universe, the first galaxies could form when the Universe was less than 1 billion years old (it is now about 15 billion years old).

What statement best describes the age of your solar system and the universe?

Our solar system is estimated to be around 4.6 billion years old, while the universe is believed to be around 13.8 billion years old. The age of our solar system is based on the formation of the sun and planets, while the age of the universe is determined through various methods such as cosmic microwave background radiation and the expansion of the universe.


How much rubidium-87 would remain in an object that is 147 billion years old?

Rubidium 87 has a half life of 49 billion years so it would be 3 half lives. There should, therefore be 1/8 remaining. However, it is believed that the universe is less than 15 billion years old. So finding any object that is 147 billion years old is - to put it mildly - totally impossible!


Where does the evidence suggest that the universe began 15 billion years ago?

Religious materials suggest to some that the universe is about 6 thousand years old. The 15 billion year estimate comes from the backward extrapolation of movement of the outward moving galaxies. It is theorized that this outward movement most have started about 15 billion years ago, if currently understood distances and velocities are worked backwards.


What is the longest known distance in light years?

That would be the distance from one edge of the Known Universe to the other. As the Known Universe is believed to be approximately 15 billion years old, that would be 30 billion light years in diameter.
