Was there ever water on the Sun?

As strange as it may seem, yes water has been detected on the Sun. Actually what was detected is ‘steam’ over a particularly cool sunspot where the temperatures were only about 1000 K or so.

How old is the Sun?

4.603 billion years
Sun/Age

The sun was born about 4.6 billion years ago. Many scientists think the sun and the rest of the solar system formed from a giant, rotating cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula.

What is inside the Sun core?

The core of the Sun is home to billions and billions of atoms of hydrogen, the lightest element in the universe. The immense pressure and heat pushes these atoms so close to one another that they squish together to create new, heavier atoms. This is called nuclear fusion.

Is Earth’s water older than the Sun?

Around 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is comprised of water, and our big, blue, planet is filled with rivers, streams, and oceans that defy everything scientists have come to learn about the formation of Earth.

Is Earth or sun older?

The sun, at 4.6 billion years old, predates all the other bodies in our solar system. But it turns out that much of the water we swim in and drink here on Earth is even older.

How much life does the Sun have left?

Astronomers estimate that the sun has about 7 billion to 8 billion years left before it sputters out and dies. Humanity may be long gone by then, or perhaps we’ll have already colonized another planet.

Is there life inside 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 would happen if the Sun suddenly disappeared?

Anything in orbit around the Sun is basically moving fast enough to be in a constant state of freefall towards it. If the planets, for example, suddenly stopped moving they would immediately be pulled towards the Sun and fall into it. So, let’s imagine that, due to some unknown reason, our Sun suddenly vanished.

What would life be like without the Sun?

Life without our Solar System’s only star would be rather uncomfortable, to say the least. This question carries with it immense complications owing to the Sun’s influence on the Solar System, so we’ll take a hypothetical look at it first from the perspective of the motion of bodies in the Solar System.

What would happen if there was no sun in the sky?

The planets in the sky would follow suit, disappearing one by one as the wave of darkness reached them. Eventually, though, the lack of the Sun’s radiation would leave us pretty chilly. Just think about how much colder it is at night time rather than the day, but imagine that same temperature drop constantly occurring.

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.
