Can anything live on the sun?
The Sun could not harbor life as we know it because of its extreme temperatures and radiation. Yet life on Earth is only possible because of the Sun’s light and energy.
What things need the sun?
Plants need sunlight to grow. Animals, including humans, need plants for food and the oxygen they produce. Without heat from the sun, Earth would freeze. There would be no winds, ocean currents, or clouds to transport water.
What will the sun run out of?
hydrogen
But in about 5 billion years, the sun will run out of hydrogen. Our star is currently in the most stable phase of its life cycle and has been since the birth of our solar system, about 4.5 billion years ago. Once all the hydrogen gets used up, the sun will grow out of this stable phase.
What does not need the sun?
There are bacteria that live in hot springs and other volcanic water that get their energy from chemicals released as a result of volcanic activity. They do not need light, and they do not need oxygen, and the Earth’s interior provides them with heat, so they can live without the sun.
Can any living thing survive without sun?
Without the sun, our planet would get extremely cold, and all living things on it would die. Plants use the sun’s energy for photosynthesis, which is the process they use to make nutrients. If plants couldn’t use the sun to make nutrients, all living things on the planet would starve.
What would happen if there was no sun?
Without the sun, our planet would get extremely cold, and all living things on it would die. Plants use the sun’s energy for photosynthesis, which is the process they use to make nutrients.
Why don’t bacteria need the sun to survive?
The D. audaxviator species is doubly unusual. It not only does not need the Sun but also does not need any other life. Most bacteria sponge off other species for some needs ¯ for example, bacteria around sea vents rely on planktonon the sea surface to produce oxygen from photosynthesis.
Why do we orbit the sun but it doesn’t orbit anything?
Why do we orbit the sun but it doesn’t orbit anything? Actually, the sun does orbit things. For one thing, the sun orbits about the center of mass of the solar system (which I believe is still inside sun, as it turns out, but not at the center of the sun) The sun also orbits about the center of mass of our galaxy.
Does the Sun want to be made of iron?
The sun, like the rest of the universe, is made mostly of hydrogen. There isn’t enough oxygen in the entire solar system to keep the surface of the sun burning through chemical combustion for more than a very short time—probably hours. Instead, the sun’s heat and light comes from thermonuclear fusion. All matter in the universe “wants” to be iron.
