What If the Sun Swallowed Earth?

The Sun’s core is shrinking. But as its core shrinks, the Sun itself grows larger. And it will continue to grow, until one day, it engulfs the Earth. How long can you survive? What will happen to the oceans? Will other planets be affected?

Trillions years later: aliens: look at this rock planet

Edit: guys ik we aren’t here in a trillion years and what ever this was just a joke and don’t be offended by it

This has always freaked me out. Even after we die, the Earth will always be here even in hundreds of millions of years. There might not be any life on it, but it'll still be a floating rock. To think that one day it will be completely destroyed into nothing is crazy to me.

What if : New video

Me : "Guess we'll die"

[devoid]

As a person who lives on Pluto I see this as an absolute victory

[kylephantom]

Sun: *destroying earth*
Citizens: "We can outrun it surely"

[jonathankarlsson]

To cut a long story short: We would die.

[manyatapawagi]

Imagine when when we just see and say "see!!! Sun!! It's coming so quick!!!"
I am shocked by the fact that we will even be able to see that.

[blackscreened]

It's funny how people are still trying to outrun the sun 💀💀

[HariHaran-whbo]

Sad truth is that this is going to happen to our earth one day

[arewealone]

Sun: Lets eat Earth.

Earth: You mean lets eat, Earth?

Sun : No I mean lets eat Earth!
