How many solar cells would it take to create enough magnetic force from photovoltaic absorbtion to suck the ea

Question

tth into the sun?

Answer 1

More than there is material on Earth to build them from. We are a speck compared to the size of the Sun. Anything we could reasonably do on this speck of sand is magnitudes less than would be required.

Also, solar cells are not 100% efficient, they only absorb specific spectra based on their design. So if you did have a massive solar array the solar wind would be pushing the earth away more than any EMF produced by the solar array would be pulling them together. We wouldn't get sucked into the sun, we would get blown away.

Answer 2

there is no magnetic force created from absorption. There is a weak magnetic field created by electricity moving through the wires from a cell to a lamp or whatever. Put a pin next to the cord from a lit lamp. Any attraction effect? None. Worry about something else, like global warming. Now that can harm the earth.

Answer 3

1. The earth isn't large enough to support that many solar cells.
2. Unless the earth's tangential velocity were reduced, the earth would merely assume a different orbit.
