if the sun was no longer shinning, would you be able to see anything out in space?

Question

Would far away distant suns light up our skies?

Answer 1

yes, we can see stars still... though no moon, it would always be a dark moon with no sun.
everything would freeze, we would die, no matter what...
we could just huddle up in our homes for a while using the last bit of energy, but the temp would go way way way below freezing... we have to have fire places... and wood. Wood would be gone eventually. with no sun, no plants. and everyone burned everything. so we die... kinda like day after tomarow. but that was different. but they did die.

sorry, got sidetracked...

Answer 2

Your question deserves at least two answers.

1) Technically, if our sun were no longer shining, there would be no life on this planet capable of seeing anything.

2) If you really mean, would other stuff in the sky be visible, the answer is: everything in the sky would be tremendously more visible. As far as other stars lighting the Earth, nothing could make up for our sun; but it's all relative: I was at sea a thousand miles from land at night, and I was able to read a large print Bible by starlight!

Answer 3

If the sun were no longer shining, and we could somehow still survive with it not shining, we would see the samething at night with two exceptions:

1. We wouldn't be able to see the moon. Notice how we cannot see the side of the moon that has no light shining on it.

2. We also wouldn't be able to see any of the planets in our solar system due to no relatively close light source reflecting off of them.

Answer 4

It may be a little dark here on earth but space would not change to any extent
In fact you would see much more than you see now since the sun would not be coming up all the time to obscure a lot of stars.

Answer 5

As what i remember in our science class, before the sun will become a dead and cold star, meaning no longer shining, it will expand in size and will be giving off its tremendous amount of heat and energy, drying up all the water forms on earth! So were dead at that time! As its expanding, it will seize all the things immediately surrounding it even the planets mercury, venus and our very own earth! The sun will then explode another dead star in the universe!!

Answer 6

i love it how all the smart people got the thumbs down...probably by the stupid people...they are always so jealous. anyways we would all die by freezing to death or since there has to be a reason for the sun to stop shining i'd assume it was a giant star before it went out therefore we would have died before it even stopped shining and if we did survive it being a giant then when it exploded we'd die anyways. hypothetically, if we somehow lived we would see other stars but not planets or the moon since they got their light from the sun.

Answer 7

the gap between the daylight and earth is definitely extremely chilly. The sunlight is only a worry-free small in call for human being although the distances interior the universe are huge and the universe itself keeps increasing. Like an atom, the universe is often empty area and considering it keeps increasing, the gap between products receives better and the perfect means density receives decrease which equates to low temperature.

Answer 8

If the sun is no longer shining, you would be dead. Our fate is tied inextricably with that of the sun. But yeah, you would still be able to see light coming from other stars, galaxies and quasars. They generate their own light, and would be visible regardless of the status of Sol.

Answer 9

if you mean it only stoped shining and still did everything else (like heat us up and keep us in orbit) then i guess the humans would have to learn to be creatures who cannnot see - without the sun there is no light to see by and since we wouldn't know what light was we wouldn't be able to invent stuff like flashlights and lightbulbs. So no, the human species would be blind and therefore unable to see anything whether it be out or inside "space".

Answer 10

The Sun is only spectacular to us because although we don't like to admit it, we are extremely primitive and depend on it immensely, however if it were to stop shining, this would actually improve our understanding of the night sky, more stars would come into view and we'd see far more of our discernible Universe. In fact, many man-made launchers like to escape the brightness of the big guy so that they can receive the intensities of much far-out objects and in so doing will better improve their ability to map stars of a certain class, designation and of course improve our understanding.....HOPE THAT HELPS!!!
