light exist because of the sun. so if the sun was destroyed does this mean light wouldnt exist anymore?

Question

because otherwise, space and the universe is dark, pitch black. so that must say theres no other light source else where in the universe, or beyond it. what lies outside the universe, must be dark to. because if there was a powerfull light sorce that surrounded are universe. surly are heavens, outerspace, the universe, would be illuminated by this all powerfull light source...? so with the sun gone, would light not exist anymore?

Answer 1

Well, look outside at night...What do you see? Stars are all producing light. If the sun was destroyed, life on earth wouldn't exist, but light certainly would...from all of the billions and billions of other stars.

Answer 2

space is dark, but not pitch black. The sun is the closest light source, but only one of lots and lots of stars. If you were able to visit a nearby star the sun would look like a small light and the close by star would appear to be the source of all light.
Even on earth there is some chemoluminescence, or light that does not come from the sun. If the sun were destroyed it would be very very dark here, but light would surely continue.

Answer 3

First, the Sun is not the only source of light. There are about 10^24 other stars in the Universe. Without the Sun, life on Earth would be impossible, but there would be plenty of light (and possibly, nay probably, life) elsewhere.

Second, there is no sense postulating what is outside of the Universe. The entirety of space is the Universe and the Universe is the entirety of space [there may be other Universes, but they are not really "outside" our own, rather they occupy a distinct space-time continuum with which we can never interact.

Answer 4

The sun is just a star like any of the other you see.

We would still see the other stars. We would not see the moon.
For our (earthlings) purposes, there would be very little light. Daytime would look like nighttime.

In short, light would still exist, the sun does not produce light for all of the universe. Of course, if the sun was destroyed, we would all be dead very quickly.

Now if all of the stars were destroyed.......

Answer 5

Light from the sun? Yes. (although we wouldn't know until 8 minutes after the fact).

Light in general? No.

There is many sources of light, the sun being merely the biggest producer in our solar system. There are some stars that are even larger than the sun but they appear dim due to their massive distance from us.

Answer 6

The sun is not the only source of light in the universe. I'm wondering who told you that. You won't find it in a book. The sun is just one of billions and billions of stars in the universe. They all produce light.

1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

6: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8: And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10: And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11: And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12: And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13: And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14: And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17: And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18: And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19: And the evening and the morning were the fourth day..........So to answer your question, yes, the Earth would be dark, if not for the Sun, OR the Moon..

Answer 8

No. That assumption isn't according to what Genesis actual says. in accordance to the enormous Bang theory, there had to be a time in our universe beforehand of our sunlight while there became into darkness. This accords with Gen. a million:3 while, on Day One, God formed gentle and the separation between darkenss and lightweight occurred. So the gentle-giving source in our universe became into in place. flora became into formed on Day 3 (after dry gound known above the waters) and on Day 4 the heavenly lights took result on planet earth in a fashion that became into new. Day and night, and the seasons, took their direction interior the way that all of us understand them nonetheless. this might nicely accord with the time it took for earth's environment to improve, and the Genesis account seems designed to be study using fact the visual attraction of issues from a human attitude. for the period of Days 4 to 6, God filled the domain names that have been formed for the period of Days One to 3. gentle became into already created before flora became into created, yet after the introduction of flora, gentle on planet earth became into enabled (or, formed) to the degree that we at present day understand, with 24-hour cycles, and month-to-month cycles, and image voltaic cycles, giving us the seasons.

Answer 9

There are a number of alternatives. Here are a couple:

1. Other stars.
2. Flashlights.

Answer 10

It is believed to exist more than one sun but it is too far away from our galaxy...so yes it wouldn't be anything without light (no plants=>no animals=>no humans...no heat)
