Ice and snow are bright and reflect much of a star's heat back into space, causing the world to cool down even further. On a world with surface volcanoes, eruptions can dump carbon dioxide and other gases back into the atmosphere, heating the world back up.Apr 29, 2019

Can a planet actually explode?
As far as astronomers know, there is no internal mechanism or other phenomenon that could ever cause a planet to fly apart. Contrary to science fiction, planets are stable and causing one to explode would require some chemical or nuclear process which can provide an explosive punch of energy.
What would happen if the Jupiter exploded?
There would be minor changes in the planets' orbits about the Sun, but very little else. However, Jupiter does a great job of shepherding and absorbing small objects in the Solar System. With Jupiter gone, the main effect on Earth would be an increase in the rate of impacts from asteroids and other space flotsam.
How much longer will the Earth last?
The upshot: Earth has at least 1.5 billion years left to support life, the researchers report this month in Geophysical Research Letters. If humans last that long, Earth would be generally uncomfortable for them, but livable in some areas just below the polar regions, Wolf suggests.
What year will the Moon hit the Earth?
In about 50 billion years, the Moon will stop moving away from us and settle into a nice, stable orbit. At this point, the Moon will take about 47 days to go around the Earth (currently, it takes a little over 27 days). When this new stability is achieved, the Earth and the Moon will be tidally locked to each other.
What year is the Earth going to explode?
Four billion years from now, the increase in Earth's surface temperature will cause a runaway greenhouse effect, creating conditions more extreme than present-day Venus and heating Earth's surface enough to melt it. By that point, all life on Earth will be extinct.
How long will the Earth last?
The upshot: Earth has at least 1.5 billion years left to support life, the researchers report this month in Geophysical Research Letters. If humans last that long, Earth would be generally uncomfortable for them, but livable in some areas just below the polar regions, Wolf suggests.
What if the Earth disappeared?
If the Earth was suddenly not there anymore, the next strongest gravity force will come from the sun. There are other planets that are closer (for example Venus and Mars) and the moon could circle around them but the sun is so big that it has the strongest gravitational force.
What if the Sun exploded?
The Sun will get hotter and brighter, and it will start to expand. During this process, it will lose its outer layers to the cosmos, leading to the creation of other stars and planets in the same way that the violent burst of the Big Bang created Earth.
