What else can I help you with?
Is Jupiter a failed sun?
No, Jupiter is not a failed sun. It is a gas giant planet that did not have enough mass to ignite and sustain nuclear fusion like a star.
What would happen in the sun if fusion reactions suddenly ceased?
If fusion reactions suddenly ceased in the sun, the energy production that sustains the sun's heat and light would stop. This would cause the sun to cool and shrink, leading to a decrease in its brightness and energy output. Eventually, the sun would become a white dwarf, a dense and cooling remnant of a once active star.
What would happen if gravity were not a force acting between Earth and the sun?
If gravity were not a force between Earth and the sun, Earth would move in a straight line tangential to its orbit instead of orbiting around the sun. This would cause Earth to drift off into space, no longer held in orbit by the sun's gravitational pull.
Something that is certain to happen?
The sun rising every morning is certain to happen.
What would happen if the sun suddenly turned into a black hole?
If the sun were to suddenly turn into a black hole, it would not affect Earth's orbit or cause it to be sucked in. However, the lack of sunlight would lead to a rapid drop in temperature, causing all life on Earth to perish.
What would Happen if a star 100 times the size of Jupiter collided with a star the size of the sun?
A star 100 times the mass of Jupiter would barely be massive enough to be a star at all. However, the collision would probably be bad for the Earth and us, its inhabitants.
What would happen if a planet collided into the sun?
It is a very unlikely scenario but if it were to happen, that poor planet would be vaporized by the Suns' immense size and power. If there were to be a planet that was bigger than the Sun then both of them would be vaporized or the Sun would survive but be severely damaged and might explode because of the impact.
What would happen if the sun was between mars and Jupiter?
Earth would potentially burn up from being too close to the solar flares of which the sun radiates.
What would happen if the earth were closer to Jupiter?
Considering the distance of Jupiter to the Sun, the Earth would suffer from an utter and never ending ice age, because the heat from the Sun is the major determining factor in the climate of our ecosystem.
How many Jupiter's would fit inside the sun?
By volume, you can fit the planet Jupiter into the sun about 984 times.
How many Jupiter's would theoretically fit inside the sun?
By volume, you can fit the planet Jupiter into the sun about 984 times.
If Earth and Jupiter were the same distance away from the sun which planet would have a greater gravitational attraction to the sun and why?
Jupiter, its more massive.
How many planets is it away from the sun?
Jupiter would be.....5 planets from the sun. =]
Which of the outer planets is closer to the sun?
That would be Jupiter.
How much larger would Jupiter have to be to make it the same size as the sun?
Jupiter would have to be at least 10 times as big to make it's diameter the same as the sun.
How old would a 10 year old be on jupiter?
If they were born on Jupiter, they would be 118.6 Earth years old on their tenth orbit of the Sun (Their Jupiter birthday)
What if Jupiter collided with earth?
If Jupiter hit the sun, there would be phenomenal release of energy. The energy is equivalent to 1/2 mv2 so since the mass of Jupiter is 1.89x1027 kg and the escape velocity of the sun (and thus the approximate speed of impact) is 617 km/s (6.17x105 m/s). Thus, the energy released would be 3.60x1038 J. At that speed, the collision would take about 4 minutes from the moment of the first contact to the moment all of Jupiter is at the surface of the sun. This would be around 1.5e36 W on average, or about 4 billiontimes brighter than the sun normally is. On Earth, areas in direct sunlight would receive 20 petajoules/m2 over that time period. By comparison, a 1 megaton nuclear bomb at 10 m (across the room) only releases 3.3 gigajoules/m2, less than 1/1000 of what this event would generate. Needless to say, nobody on the day side of Earth would survive, and the blast wave and earthquake would kill everyone on the night side.As for the sun itself, it would brighten considerably for a few years before returning to normal.
