We've seen many ways the Earth could disappear, but have you ever wondered which of these is the most likely? Well, we tell you according to the results of a new study.
Monthly announcements of Ryan Astronomical Society have been published Article In it researchers from the University of Warwick reveal what could happen to much of the solar system, including our precious home, Earth.
Scientists have studied in depth the process that happens to the planetary systems we live in.
As we already know, our host star, known as Sun or King Star, is the main source of energy in the solar system, especially, it is very important for the Earth, we are here, we need the Sun. Can continue to live.
According to the official portal NASA space stationThe King Star is 4.5 billion years old, practically halfway through its lifespan.
The host star, in this case the Sun, exhausts its energy within billions of years, then becomes a red giant, lasts millions of years and finally becomes a white dwarf.
Red giants, step Spanish Astronomical Society They are<மிகப்பெரிய மற்றும் குளிர்ந்த நட்சத்திரங்கள், அவற்றின் அளவு சூரியனின் ஆரத்தை விட சில நூறு மடங்குகளை எட்டும்>> Meanwhile white dwarfs<'நட்சத்திர பிணங்கள்', அவை பழங்கால மற்றும் சக்திவாய்ந்த அணுசக்தி எரிப்பின் எச்சங்கள்>>, according to the journal Science National Geographic .
In the scenario, as soon as the Sun becomes a red giant, the Earth will begin to have its first effects and it will, in effect, be 'pulled' into its transition by the Sun's gravity.
There is a small, but not zero, possibility that the Earth will survive this, however, obviously, given the radiation and temperature, the Earth will not have the necessary conditions for life, which will end everything that exists on her. .
Although the safety of our planet 'hangs by a thread', the truth is that both Mercury and Venus will inevitably be immediately reversed, and there is no escape.
The study also speaks to the possibility that this result will only reach Earth, if not destroy it, at least severely. The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) and Mars will be left alone without their host star and their first three rocky companions.
Finally, some moons and asteroids are discussed which have the same fate as the first three planets of the solar system.
Scientists expect this to happen within five billion years, the end of the other half of the Sun.
Most likely, there will be no humanity in it, but if not, it could see a heartbreaking end to what has been our home for years.
