i say to snateraar, nasa should get some SUPER cold suits allowing them to get near the sun grab a big friggin flamethrower and help the sun out!

ya. i wonder what would happen if we got sucked into THE SUN.
Anonymous 04.23.09 at 5:00 am
also i’m curious what will happen when we do get sucked in within the sun wut will happen and after wut happens?

yes we will die if the sun explodes. It will kill everything in this solar system all planet. It will eat all planets including yes. Earth. We will all be disintigrated.

that the real happening we can see in the future

But this time, a dramatic change will occur.
The Sun simply won’t have enough gravitational strength to hold itself together anymore.
The Sun’s outer layers will be pushed off into space. In other words: the Sun will explode.
There will be a big nebula of super hot solar gas, flinging off in all directions.
A beautiful sight, but not for us poor things.
For many millions of years in a row, it will be like we’re on the grill of a barbecue once more.
And there will be radiation. Lots of it.

Eventually, after another 100 million years or so, the Sun runs out of helium as well. The nuclear reactions will stop again, and gravity will take over once more. The Sun’s core will collapse further.

KABOOM! This will prevent the Sun from collapsing any further. Finally, we will have warmth again.
But wait, we’re in trouble. A nuclear power plant that runs on helium gives off a hell of a lot more energy and heat than one run on hydrogen. The new, immense power of the Sun’s core will literally blow up the Sun. The Sun will grow, eating up several planets: first Mercury, then Venus. And next on the menu, yes, Earth.

It would explode in 5 billion years.
When the Sun eventually runs out of hydrogen, the nuclear reactions inside the Sun’s core will stop. There will be no explosive force pushing outwards from the heart of the Sun anymore. The Sun will collapse, pressed together by its own gravity.
Subsequently, temperatures inside the Sun will rise even more. And, lucky we, there will be another nuclear reaction sparking off. The Sun will start fusing helium into carbon and hydrogen this time.

how? i think it would explode in 1 billion year
Anonymous 04.23.09 at 5:00 am
Yup.

TBH, We can develop our bodies too be immune from sickness. Sure I do rely on mediciene when I need to. Most of time I don’t get sick anymore. It just how you take care of yourselfs and being healthy person. I don’t even remember the last time I use medicine to cure me.

Space is truly extroadinary(Hope I spelled it right). It’ll always interest me no matter what
I even took a class about space in HS. IT was cool & also hard.

Yeah it could be. Kind of funny how, it reminds me of a movie called Knowing. BTW, Great movie. I recommend it.
