Do you have any idea of what is on the other side of the sun??

Question

Ever wonder what is on the other side the sun, i have but who really knows. Let me know what you think and if you have research to go with it please post it....thank you all

Ok so i was not specific enough and i understand the synical answers some of you gave, oh and i know we rotate around the sun....but when we are on one side what is going on beyond the sun?? hope this helps...

Answer 1

I suppose it depends on what you mean by the 'other side'.

Do you mean directly behind the sun, from our vantage point in space on earth?

Well, there is the abstract answer, then there is the scientific one.

The 'bizarro-world' answer is that no one knows what is on the other side of the sun, because no one has been there, if we are talking about the side of the sun that is obscure to us.

There could be anything back there.

But, there probably is not anything lying close to the sun, if that is what you meant. The sun's surface is 6000 degrees centigrade. And the solar corona, the outer atmosphere of the sun, is one million degrees. Hence, nothing that we know of could survive in those conditions.

Unless you meant the other side of the sun, in terms of the same distance away from it as is the earth.

Probably, from a scientific standpoint, there is just empty space behind the sun. Space is very empty, and vast beyond human understanding.

Answer 2

What do you mean exactly? Earth orbits around the Sun, so we see everything eventually. For example, right now the Sun is "in" the constellation of Libra, so we can't see Libra right now. But 6 months from now we'll be able to see all the stars and other objects "in" Libra all night long.

Also, the Sun itself rotates. It takes about a month to rotate once around, so if we want to know if there's a sunspot on the far side of the Sun as viewed from Earth, we just have to wait a couple weeks. Actually, scientists are starting to figure out how to detect solar activity (like sunspots) on the other side of the Sun without actually seeing it. I don't know the details, but it is pretty neat.

Perhaps you're wondering if there might be a planet just like Earth, in our exact same orbit, 180 degrees away (on the opposite side of the Sun as viewed from our home). Many people have wondered that over the centuries. But we now know it's impossible. We carefully watch the orbits of the other planets, and we know Earth's gravity affects their orbits. If there was another, as-yet-unseen planet, it too would effect the orbits of the other planets, so we would be able to detect it that way.

Answer 3

well the suface of the sun is always shifting around because it does not have a solid suface.And differrent parts of the sun rotate at differrent speeds,thus causing twists and knots in the suns magnetic field.there are three stages of this: Solar minimum:the sun's magnetic fied is stratened out,during solar minimum there are few sunspots,Solar Medium:knots are beginning to form and there are more sunspots and sometimes a huge flame eurupts called a solar flare,and Solar Maximum:solar maximum is the time when the sun's magnetic field is so knotted up that it finnally breaks.When this happens a huge solar flare called a prominence blow out from the sun and then the sun is back at solar minimum.this is a 15 year cycle.

Answer 4

Well, we do revolve around it, and it rotates as well. We see all sides of the Sun's surface throughout ayear's time, and we also revolve in an eliptical orbit around it. So we move around to the "other side" every 6 months or so.

However, there is a minute possibility of something like a planet or some other object in orbit permanently fixed directly across from our orbit. In orbital mechanics, there are points in space discovered using a chaos theory derivative called dynamical systems mathematics, that are called Lagrangian points.

There are 5 known points in the Earth's orbit. 4 in view and 1 on the exact opposite side of the sun from us at all times. These points are that at which an object can actually orbit them without having their own gravity. The gravity of other planets and the Sun gives way to these orbital points. So in essence they orbit nothing except empty space. We have proven the existence of these points, and we actually have satellites in orbit around 1 of them right now.

The problem with these points is that most are unstable. Thus, an object that enters an orbit around these points will graually fall out of the orbit and continue on whatever path that gravity and the objects escape path leads to. Unless of course the orbit is constantly corrected.

With the possibility of one of these points in our orbital path on the exact opposite side of the Sun from us, we can not be completely sure nothing is there until we decide to send a probe and find out.

Answer 5

Sure I know what is on the other side of the sun. At my age, I have been all the way around the sun 47 times!

Answer 6

The Earth travels to the other side of the Sun once a year as the Earth orbits the Sun. That is a totally ridiculous question.

Answer 7

Half way into the year...we are on the other side of the sun, then at the end of the year we are back on the other side.

Answer 8

Eventually the same as on this side. We do revolve around the sun.

Answer 9

Since the wun rotates roughly every twenty five days, you saw the other side two weeks ago and will again in another two weeks.

Answer 10

Don't we rotate around the sun?
