When it comes to the sun, many people naturally think of it as a giant fireball, so because water and fire don't mix, when you put enough water on a fire, it goes out. So what would happen if we tried to pour all the water on Earth into the sun? Will the sun really go out?
Sadly, the sun will never go out! Because of the following:
1/ The sun is not fire. Fire is electromagnetic radiation from combustion, which is an exothermic chemical transformation, and a chemical transformation is a set of molecular modifications: that is, in chemistry, atoms are not created or destroyed, they just combine differently.
2/ Putting water on a fire won't put it out. Liquid water will be converted to water in the form of gas (water vapor). This conversion will dissipate only a small fraction of the energy of the fire, but fire can only travel by concentrating its radiant energy on a small amount of material. But since water is transparent to these rays, it's almost the hardest to block them, not nearly as effective as soil 39bet-xì dách-phỏm miền bắc-tiến lên miền bắc-xóc đĩa-game bắn cá. So bringing water around the fire will only prevent the temperature from rising in those particular places, except that it will delay their future burning!
3/ On Earth, what we see as normal fire reacts with oxygen on the one hand, and we see matter glow on the other. As a result, the chemical transformation of oxidation occurs in fires, which is why such fires can be prevented simply by depriving them of oxygen. That's what a fire extinguisher does, for example, and it doesn't contain water: it puts out a fire. But in space, there's no oxygen, so no star can operate over time in this type of chemical reaction.
4/ So what makes the sun shine is something else: light atoms merging into heavy atoms under gravity. So the engine of the star is nuclear fusion, like a fusion bomb. So the fuel there is light atoms (gas, liquid) that will become heavy atoms (minerals, metals) in the fusion reaction.
5/ What is water made of? H2O: These are two gases, hydrogen and oxygen. So bringing water to a star like the Sun would give it fuel: it would just glow more!
6/ Of course, there is also the question of scale: since there is a lot of water on Earth, can we use it to extinguish the sun? But, let's look at it another way. Here's the sun next to the eight planets in our solar system:
Do you see them? Four planets are visible in the lower right, with four small dots in front. The earth is the fourth dot from the right! It's almost indistinguishable.
In order of size (radius), these planets are: Mercury (2,440 km), Mars (3,390 km), Venus (6,052 km), Earth (6,371 km), Neptune (24,622 km), and Uranus (25,362 km). Saturn (58,232 km) and Jupiter (69,911 km). Sun: 695508 kilometers!
In terms of mass, it is calculated that the Earth weighs less than the sun (1.989×10^30) ÷ (5.972×10^24) = 333,000 times. So it's not clear what throwing the entire Earth at the sun would do to it. No doubt, no reaction, no effect
It's like dropping a drop of water in a nuclear explosion.
But instead, when the sun explodes with enough energy to eject material, and if enough material is pointed at Earth, all life on Earth will be destroyed in an instant. We wouldn't even be sent back to the "Stone Age" because it would be a far more catastrophic event than the collision with a comet that destroyed the dinosaurs. Take a look, to scale:
This is a picture of an event that took place on August 31, 2013. It was the strongest solar flare ever recorded, and there was no way humans could avoid the disaster. And there's not as much water on Earth as we thought, proportionally:
Earth has about 1.386 billion cubic kilometers of water, or 1.386×10^21 kilograms, 4,309 times less than the land area, or 0.023 percent of the land area. Therefore, compared to the mass of the Sun, the mass of water on Earth is less than that of the Sun (1.989×10^30) ÷ (1.386×10^21) = 1.435 billion times. Therefore, no matter what we do, we cannot change anything. Because in front of the sun, we are just a speck of dust.
