if the sun where to burn out, what would happen the the water cycle?

Answer 1

It would be utterly irrelevant.

The earth would either fry as the sun went red giant, or freeze solid if the sun went dwarf.

Answer 2

Q-If the sun were to burn out, what would happen to the water
cycle?

If the sun were to burn out the earth would still have some left
over energy plus we would still receive sun light for another 8
minutes.
Anyway, the water cycle would slow down due to the
sharp decrease in energy. Second, the water would fall less often, but much more intense because water would condense quickly causing severe weather globally. Third, to water would turn to ice globally causing another ice age.
Or, if they energy stored in our atmosphere were enough the water cycle would be fine for about another 8 days-about a month give or take a week. Or, the atmosphere would disperse into space due to the lack of energy that could freeze the molecules in the atmosphere.

Anyway, they should have tough you this freshman year in high school if you've been there yet.

Answer 3

There would be no water cycle. The earth would be vaporized by the blast. If the sun just winked out the earth would be an instant ball of solid ice. Even the hydrogene and oxygen in the air would freeze solid.

Answer 4

If the sun suddenly threw a fit and decided to go out, (trust me, it won't) the earth would automatically freeze. If by some miracle, it didn't (which it will), then there would be no water cycle because it needs heat to evaporate the water. But it's not like it would matter because we'd all be human Popsicles. *_*

Answer 5

the sun isnt going to "burn out" any time soon, there still enough hygrogen at the core to keep it going at its current rate for another 2 Billion years. over the eons the sun will get gradually hotter, so will the earth, but thats not to worry about for at least 1 billion years. in that time the heat from the sun will cuase most the land on earth to become desserts, life will mainly be confined to the polar regions.

but in 3 - 3.5 billion years the sun will begin to run out of its hygrogen fuel, the explosive force of the hygrogen fusion will lax a litlle bit allowing gravity to partially collapse the sun increasing the pressure at the core allowing the helllium (the ash of the hygrogen) to fuse keeping the sun going for another billion years or so. but in that time the sun will be so hot that most of the oceans on earth will have evaporated.

the hellium will eventually fuse to make carbon but at that time there wont be enough mass to keep the pressure at the core fusing element larger than carbon, and at this point the sun will have grown to engulf the innner solar system mabey even to the size of earth orbit

but to answer your question, as the sun gets hotter theres more water vapor in the sky. but it comes to a point where its to hot for rain and the water cycle shuts down

Answer 6

There would be no more percipitation since heat cause vapor, and vapor reach the cloud to create rain. Since this will happen, no more rain would appear.

Answer 7

There would be no water and no cycle.

Answer 8

It would stop and the earth would become a ball of ice.
