Scientists already have the exact date when the sun will explode and end the solar system

The future of the sun It’s one of the questions we’ve asked ourselves throughout history since we discovered how the whole system works. Internal structure. As the central star of our solar system, andFor the sun He was a witness Of countless events throughout most of his life 4.6 billion years. But, What does fate have in store for us when it explodes?

First of all, the sun is not a “Fireball” As many believe. in its essence, The sun bears Especially performing a nuclear chain reaction merger Of atoms hydrogen To form helium. This nuclear fusion releases enormous amounts of energy in the form of… light and heat, What we are allowed to do enjoy life And maintain balance Our planet through Of process Photosynthesis in First example.

But if each Another source for energyHe Sun Not immortal. With time, The hydrogen in the core will run out, and Sun It will be ready To have a happy ending. This turning point marks the beginning of the end The life of the sun as we know it.

When the hydrogen in the sun’s core runs outGravity will take over, and the heart will contract under its own weight. this Contraction It will increase the Temperature and pressure In the heart, whatever it allows Helium fusion. How a resultHe Sun It will expand dramatically and become something Which is known as the red giant.

During this phase The sun will engulf the nearest planetsincluded Country. However, the sun is unlikely to explode as a supernova Due to its relatively large size Small compared to other massive stars. in the The place is more likely than the sun Experience a range of It pulsates and expels the outer layers, giving them shape Planetary nebula.

At the end of his life, what remains of the essence Sun It will shrink and form a white dwarf, a small, dense star that emits its own light stay in the room.

However, before we panic, it’s important to remember that this is not the case It will happen soon. A study he conducted University of Warwick In England it is indicated that this process will take place internally It is about 5000 million years old. And not just on Earth, when Sun When it enters the red giant phase, its expansion will be so intense that it will engulf the inner planets of the galaxy. Solar system.

This process will occur due to massive inflammation of the skin Sunwhich will expand to several times its current size, reaching such proportions that it will physically absorb, disintegrate and merge with its body the nearest objects. The mass will continue to grow. It is an inevitable process of destruction due to natural evolution All starsOur situation will be no exception. HappyWe don’t have to live in it.
