Will The Earth Survive The Sun's Red Giant Phase? by mickeymimi: 8:36pm On Oct 16, 2017 |
ENJOY READING https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlHQV52fJ1A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCf8mmlpoH4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAjDtCuOHrA Red Giant Phase: In 5.4 billion years from now, the Sun will enter what is known as the Red Giant phase of its evolution. This will begin once all hydrogen is exhausted in the core and the inert helium ash that has built up there becomes unstable and collapses under its own weight. This will cause the core to heat up and get denser, causing the Sun to grow in size. It is calculated that the expanding Sun will grow large enough to encompass the orbit’s of Mercury, Venus, and maybe even Earth. Even if the Earth were to survive being consumed, its new proximity to the the intense heat of this red sun would scorch our planet and make it completely impossible for life to survive. However, astronomers have noted that as the Sun expands, the orbit of the planet’s is likely to change as well. When the Sun reaches this late stage in its stellar evolution, it will lose a tremendous amount of mass through powerful stellar winds. Basically, as it grows, it loses mass, causing the planets to spiral outwards. So the question is, will the expanding Sun overtake the planets spiraling outwards, or will Earth (and maybe even Venus) escape its grasp? https://www.universetoday.com/12648/will-earth-survive-when-the-sun-becomes-a-red-giant/ |
