What will the Sun become when it dies? Once the sun completely runs out fuel, it will contract into a cold corpse of a star – a white dwarf. What if our Sun turns to black hole? Instead, the Sun will...
What would happen to Earth if the Sun collapsed to a black hole? Contrary to popular belief, the Solar System would not be sucked in: a solar-mass black hole would exert no more gravitational pull than our Sun. As this computer...
What would happen if our Sun became a white dwarf? Once the Red Giant phase is complete the Sun will evolve into a White Dwarf, during which it will lose about half of its mass. As the Sun loses mass the...
Will a black hole ever hit the Earth? What are the chances of Earth being consumed by a black hole? Experts who spoke to Newsweek said there is practically zero chance of the Earth ever colliding with a black hole before...
What are 4 facts about the space station? International Space Station Size & Mass Pressurized Module Length: 218 feet along the major axis (67 meters) Truss Length: 310 feet (94 meters) Solar Array Length: 239 feet across both longitudinally aligned arrays...
Can galaxies have 2 black holes? Some galaxies, such as the galaxy 4C +37.11, appear to have two supermassive black holes at their centers, forming a binary system. If they collided, the event would create strong gravitational waves. Binary supermassive black...
How old is the solar system in 2022? (By comparison, the universe is about 13.8 billion years old, and our own solar system clocks in at about 4.6 billion years of age.) Is the solar system 4.6 billion years old? The...
What occurs when a supergiant explodes? Supernova. The supergiant explodes as a supernova. The outer layers are blown off into space leaving behind the star’s core, which begins to shrink. What happens when a red giant expands and is blown away?...
How many times has our Sun orbited the galaxy? It takes the sun 220 million years to circle once around the center of our galaxy. During the 4.6 billion years that the Sun has been in existence, it has gone around...
Does being near a black hole slow time? It is true that large gravitational forces (such as when you approach a black hole) slow down time, but you can only be aware of this by comparing your experiences with someone far...
