We would all be killed in the supernova explosion that created the pulsar out of our Sun. The Earth itself would be vaporized. Any returning space travelers would be fried by the intense pulses of gamma radiation that give the "pulsar" or "pulsing gamma ray source" its name.

However, this cannot happen - because our Sun isn't nearly massive enough to go supernova.

What would happen if the sun was replaced by R136a1?

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


Could the sun be a pulsar?

No. A pulsar contains the mass of the Sun, squeezed into a ball 20km (12 1/2 miles) across


Are pulsar star found in the solar system?

No. There is only one star in our Solar System, the Sun and it is not a pulsar.


Did the sun form out of a pulsar?

no, it formed from a nebula, then condensed


What would happen if replaced the sun to a blue giant?

An average blue giant is about 5-10 times the size of the Sun and are much hotter than the Sun is. If our Sun were a blue giant, life, as we know it would never have happened. The Earth would have been vastly too hot to support abiogenesis.


What kind of star will the sun be in the last stage of its life?

A Pulsar.


Was the sun made by a pulsar?

Our Sun is at least a 3rd generation star; the solar system formed from the debris blasted into space by countless - or at least, unknowable - numbers of supernova explosions of old dead stars. Some of those could well have left stellar cores that were pulsars. But it's unlikely that any of the Sun's mass was ever in a pulsar; the mass contained in a pulsar is so tightly bound by gravity that it is unlikely that any could ever escape. About the only way that any pulsar mass might have escaped would be if two neutron stars (and a pulsar is just a spinning neutron star) were to collide. Some of the mass might escape from the explosion, which would probably create a black hole as the result.

What would happen if you threw an ice cube the size of the sun into the sun?

It would melt.


Is a pulsar a part of the solar system?

No, a pulsar is not a part of the solar system. Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation, while the solar system consists of the Sun, planets, and other celestial objects that are gravitationally bound to the Sun.


What would happen to earth if the moon were replaced with an object that had the mass of Jupiter?

Because the new moon would have a higher gravitational pull, the earth would start to orbit around it as if it was the new moon's moon. This would cause the new moon to become a sun causing the Sun to crash into the new sun causing a supernova erasing the entire galaxy.


What would happen if Betelgeuse was your solar system star?

If Betelgeuse replaced our Sun, it would likely cause drastic changes in our solar system. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star, much larger and hotter than our Sun, so Earth would be too close to it and would likely be engulfed by the star's expanded outer layers. The intense radiation and heat would also have significant effects on the other planets in our solar system.
