The sun, our beloved object in the solar system, is one of the main sources of our lives. But, what would happen if the sun disappeared for 5 seconds? What’s going to happen to us?
First, if the sun suddenly disappears, we won’t notice it for about eight minutes. Because it’s time for sunlight to reach Earth. After those 8 minutes, our sky will look very dark and will only be irradiated by the light of our galaxy.
In the first week, the temperature of the Earth’s surface will fall from 0 to -17 degrees Celsius. And in a year, -73 to -100 degrees Celsius. As a result of these temperatures, the sea level will be completely frozen and illegal fishermen will eventually lose their jobs. Another good news, finally tropic people will feel the snow in their yard. The bad news is, fan sales may be dropping dramatically.
Due to the absence of sunlight, many plants will also die in a few weeks because they are unable to photosynthesize. Even animals will die from losing plants as a source of food. Not to mention the extreme temperatures that make the chances of survival even less. Therefore, it is predicted that only microorganisms can survive under these extreme conditions. Whereas humans may still be able to survive under the sea harnessing the heat from the Earth’s core or settling in a place that has thermal energy.
Although we often hate the sun for fear of making our skin darker. But now we realize how important the sun is to all of our lives. I hope that after reading my article you know what would happen if the sun disappeared for 5 seconds.
