Hello friends, have you ever wondered what would happen if the light from our sun suddenly stopped for a day? Have you ever imagined something like this? Today we are going to read about it and find out.
Introduction
We can say that the Sun is the leader of our
solar system because all the other planets depend on our Sun. All the other
planets operate based on our Sun. I am including our Earth. Okay, do you know
what the Sun is made of and when the Sun was born? If you don't know, let me
tell you briefly. If you look at it that way, the total age of our Sun is about
a billion years. Of that, our Sun has now spent about 4.6 billion years. There
are still 5 billion years left. In these 4.6 billion years, many destructions and
changes have occurred on our Earth. It is not known what kind of changes will
occur on our Earth in the next 5 billion years.
Well, let's find out what made our sun so
special. Our sun is made entirely of hydrogen. That is, 74% hydrogen and the
remaining percentage is helium. Two hydrogen atoms in the sun fuse together to
form helium. This is why the sun emits so much heat and light. There are so
many photons in the heat that come out of this type of sun. Not only that,
there is also a lot of radiation.
Do you know how hot the Sun gets when nuclear
fusion occurs in its core? Scientists say that the temperature is about 10
million degrees Celsius. But they say that the temperature of the Sun from the
center to its outer region is about 5000 degrees Celsius.
It takes about 8 minutes for the heat and light
of the Sun to reach our Earth. That is, the light of the Sun that we see now is
an event that happened eight minutes before the light from the Sun. In that
case, remember that when the Sun sets or rises, we see it happening eight
minutes ago. Our Earth is about 150 million kilometers away from our Sun. At
that distance, we cannot bear the heat and light of the Sun from the Earth.
Just think about how hot it would be if we were closer to the Sun. Now, let's
read about what would happen if the light and heat coming from the Sun suddenly
stopped one day, that is, what would happen to our Earth and the living beings
living on it.
1. More likely to turn dark immediately
Yes, if there is no sun, that is, if there is no light from the sun, the earth will immediately become dark. In other words, it takes just eight minutes for the light from the sun to reach our earth. Similarly, when the light from the sun disappears, it takes about 8 minutes for the earth to become dark. When something like this happens suddenly, we feel an incomprehensible fear and panic. It makes us think more about why this is happening.
Well, if you are asking if there will be any harm to humans when the earth suddenly turns dark, then no, the harm will not happen immediately, but it will definitely affect humans and other living beings on earth little by little. Because if the earth turns dark, the earth will not get the necessary light, so we can use other mineral resources available on earth to provide light to the earth for a few more years, that is, we can use petrol, diesel, coal and other such mineral resources to generate electricity and through that we can get the necessary light for a few years, but all these are for a short time. When humans use mineral resources like this, the earth may heat up even more. But we cannot sustain all these forever, we can only use all these for a short time.
2. Do you know how much immediate cooling will occur?
Yes, if our earth does not get the necessary heat, our earth will freeze little by little, that is, our earth will not freeze immediately, when our earth loses heat, the temperature will decrease to about minus 18 degrees Celsius in a week and the earth will cool down. And if we look at it after about a year, the temperature on our earth will decrease to about minus 73 degrees Celsius and it will be the same. Well, think about it, how can life survive on our earth when such a situation exists? I mean, I am living in Antarctica, which is our working area. Only the living beings that are living on our earth now can learn to live in such a situation because all such living beings have learned to live in that one situation. But humans have not yet learned to live in such a situation. Humans are living in Antarctica using the necessary equipment and are conducting research, but we cannot live in such cold without any kind of protection.

Even if we use some equipment to survive in that
situation, that is, in a cold place with a temperature of minus 73 degrees
Celsius, even if we use some equipment, that will also be a temporary solution
but it will not be permanent forever. However, only a few organisms can survive
in that situation. In that situation, half of all organisms would have died.
Not only that, half of humans would have died because it would be a very
difficult task for anyone to get through such a cold.
3. There is a risk that photosynthesis will end
and plants will become extinct!
Yes, all the plants on our earth photosynthesize
and absorb light from the sun, and all the plants on earth survive. In such a
situation, if the light from the sun suddenly stops, all the plants on our
earth will die immediately. It may take a few months for the plants on earth to
die because even if the light from the sun stops, all the plants on earth will
survive for a while by photosynthesizing using the little heat in the earth.
But that cannot be said for sure. Some plants have a high chance of surviving,
but some plants may die immediately because they cannot photosynthesize. Not
only that, all plants that rely on photosynthesis may die. Not only that, but
animals that rely on photosynthesis, either directly or indirectly, are also
more likely to die because plants can only grow if photosynthesis is done. Animals
that eat plants also depend on plants for their survival. If there are no
plants, animals that eat the wrong things may die immediately. That is, animals
that eat plants may not be able to find the right plants to eat, and animals
that rely on plants may also die immediately.
4. All the oceans are in danger of freezing!
Yes, there is a high risk of all the oceans
shrinking because if the heat and light from the sun suddenly stops, the earth
will not get the necessary heat, so all the small seas on the surface of the
earth will start to melt little by little, that is, all the seas will not melt
immediately. It may take about a year for all the small seas to freeze, but it
will take about a million years for all the oceans to freeze. Think about why this
is? Because all the small seas are in the shallow part of the earth's surface,
so all those seas freeze quickly and the creatures living in them may die
immediately, but all the oceans are in the deep part and the creatures living
in them live in the deep part.
The seas in these parts may take many millions
of years to freeze because the core, which is the middle of the earth, is still
hot. All the oceans of the earth are near that core. Therefore, using the heat
of that core, all the oceans will not shrink for a few more million years. But
the surface of the seas will be in a state of subsidence, but the deep parts of
the seas that spread out on the bottom of the seas will not break yet, because
this is because of the core of the earth. This means that organisms living at
the bottom of the oceans will survive for another few million years, and it is
not clear why the organisms that exist at that time may have evolved.
5. Do you know what the status of other planets
is?
The other planets are moving using the light
coming from the sun because if the light and heat coming from the sun stops, it
means that the sun is stopping its movement to some extent, that is, the sun is
slowly moving. Due to this, the sun loses all its energy, especially the
gravitational force. The sun gradually loses all this. The other seven planets
in our solar system are moving along with our earth, that is, they are
revolving around our sun in a uniform path. At the same time, when our sun
loses its heat, its gravitational force also decreases gradually, due to which
all the other planets in our solar system may move away from our sun. Due to
this, all the 8 planets in our solar system may move away from our solar
system, otherwise, every planet in our solar system may collide with each other
and cause a big accident.
Conclusion
In this post, we have learned what kind of impact it will have on the Earth and other planets in our solar system when the Sun, the leader of our solar system, loses its heat, light, and gravitational force. Not only that, but also what kind of impact it will have on our Earth. Through this post, we have learned what kind of impact it will have on the living creatures and plants living on our Earth.
