Evolutionists, help me understand where I went wrong. How big would the Sun be 4.6 Billion years ago?

Question

How big would the Sun be 4.6 Billion years ago?
My kids and I tried to run some numbers, but we think there are some errors in our calculations:

The sun shrinks 2 feet every hour.
So here is the equation:

2 ft x 24 hr x 365 days / 5280 = 3,32 miles per year of shrinkage

3.32 miles x 4,6 billion years, added to the sun = 1,517,000,000 Billion more miles. This puts is just 200 million miles short of Uranus.

This means that the Earth did not exist or could not have existed 4,6 billion years ago.

What say ye?

So wise ones, school me or tell me where to look so I can come to the same conclusions you have made please.

Answer 1

that's like asserting by means of fact people have not got the features to observe Infared it does no longer exist. From the at present popular medical regulations and theories we can estimate what got here approximately. Like all of us recognize there became right into a large bang by means of fact the universe is continuously increasing as shown by using the purple shift. you should fairly easily change the question to creationists did no longer exist 6 billion years in the past(as that became into in the previous the earth existed) how do they recognize a god created the earth and each little thing else.

Answer 2

The sun shrinks two feet every hour NOW. The sun is a star and it has the same life cycle as every other star.

http://www.telescope.org/pparc/res8.html.... this site explained it or you can look up many diagrams online.

The sun is shrinking now. But at one point in time it was a very small Nebula, that was growing vastly.

The Earth could exist without the sun, it just couldn't foster life. And the Earth, as best we know, is 4.6 billion years old.

Answer 3

A little knowledge of physics would be helpful. Gravitational attraction forces hydrogen atoms in the suns core so close together they undergo nuclear fusion into the element helium.
(We know this is true--it is the basis for the hydrogen bomb). Energy is produced as a small amount of mass per fusion event is lost as energy (E=MC squared). This energy (heat, light) exerts and outward pressure on the stellar sphere trying to push atoms outwards. The sun will expand untill this thermal push outward is balanced by the gravitational attraction inward. The size of the resulting spheroid is dependant on the composition of the stellar core and is NOT a linear relationship, therefore any linear extrapolation you and your son were attempting would and did yield erroneous results. In another few billion years the sun will run out of hydrogen and begin to fuse helium. There is less energy given off in this process and so the solar disk will cool and expand --the so called red giant phase.

Answer 4

Your question has nothing to do with evolution dear.
Cosmology would be a better field.
Perhaps you should try the science section for these interesting questions, not the fairy tale one here.

Answer 5

The sun didnt exist 4.6 billion years ago so its really a moot point.

Answer 6

Evolution has nothing to do with cosmology. I suggest a basic grade school education in simple science before you attempt to move on to more mature and slightly advanced subjects.

Answer 7

Those who don't seek after God, can't possibly know how old, or young, the earth is. They worship science, which is only educated guessing with a blindfold.

Great question!!

Answer 8

who told you the sun shruk?whoever did is dumb.

Answer 9

That you understand very little about astrophysics
