when the sun dies will there be another sun to replace it?

Answer 1

No, there isn't enough spare gas around to form one here. Unless some rogue sun comes flying through but that would probably destoy the solar system.

After the sun goes Red Giant and shrinks to a white dwarf, it will still be there. It will just be very small.

Answer 2

No there wont be any replacement for the Sun after it dies. When it dies & transforms into a red giant, it will throw out enormous amounts of gases & other matter. This matter will take millions of years to contract & form another star. This is the same process by which our Sun was born.

Answer 3

The Sun's current age, determined using computer models of stellar evolution and nucleocosmochronology, is thought to be about 4.57 billion years.
The Sun is about halfway through its main-sequence evolution, during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Each second, more than 4 million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation. The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a main sequence star.

The Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova. Instead, in 4-5 billion years, it will enter a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the core is consumed and the core contracts and heats up. Helium fusion will begin when the core temperature reaches around 100 MK, and will produce carbon and oxygen. While it is likely that the expansion of the outer layers of the Sun will reach the current position of Earth's orbit, recent research suggests that mass lost from the Sun earlier in its red giant phase will cause the Earth's orbit to move further out, preventing it from being engulfed. However, Earth's water will be boiled away and most of its atmosphere will escape into space.

Following the red giant phase, intense thermal pulsations will cause the Sun to throw off its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula. The only object that will remain after the outer layers are ejected is the extremely hot stellar core, which will slowly cool and fade as a white dwarf over many billions of years. This stellar evolution scenario is typical of low- to medium-mass stars.

Answer 4

No, the Sun will always be there even when it turns into a white dwarf star (in other words, when the Sun is dead). So even in 5 billion years from now the Sun will still be there.

Answer 5

When the sun dies (it stops fusion) the core will shrink while blowing away the outer layers of gases. It will then first be a red giant star for awhile but as the outer layer gases get blown away what is left shrinks to become a white dwarf about the same size as the earth. This white dwarf will slowly cool until it becomes just a black cinder - a black dwarf.

Answer 6

No. Once the sun dies. The solar system will be gone.

Answer 7

Replacement suns are hugely expensive, and we haven't even payed for this planet yet.

Answer 8

no
when the sun dies, there will be no replacement.
stars take millions of years to form, and only under certain conditions, like in a nebula or something.

Answer 9

Yeah, if we can put rocket boosters on the Earth and fly on over to Proxima Centauri. I wish there was a way to grasp my head and sigh over yahoo...

Answer 10

nope im afraid we only get one sun

the sun>Red giant>White dwarf


so basically our sun will stay where it is but it will be much much smaller
