What If the Sun Suddenly Disappeared?

Imagine yourself waking up one morning at the crack of 10 a.m., pulling back the bedroom curtains with your usual aplomb and finding yourself staring into cold, bleak darkness.

If you were living in an area affected by the polar night this might not seem like a big deal. If you were situated in a slightly more temperate region where one would expect to see something besides pitch-black, your spider-sense might start tingling as you started to realize that something just wasn’t right.

About What If:
Presented by INSH and Hashem al Ghaili

What If asks some of the most provocative hypothetical questions in science — and then tries to answer them with the help of established scientific theory and the latest research.

I hate whenever people don't use the metric system, like only a few countries do not use it!!

Eternal darkness would be a blessing, tbh. Like, imagine 24 hours of night… 🤩

The music was different-great video!! This is very educational and I like it a lot!

I've read a few of these peices on "what if the sun disappeared?" And they copy each other's main points. My question would be if the earth started traveling in a straight line because the Sun's gravity was gone wouldn't that change in trajectory itself stop the Earth from rotating or throw all the oceans and continents into collision with each other as the Earth's momentum changed direction? Nobody ever talks about that in these write ups or videos. I can't see how the Earth would just go smoothly and gently changing directions and still be rotating on its axis and the moon would still follow suit and keep orbiting around the Earth. It seems it would be a pretty instantaneous cataclysm within 10 minutes.

Don't worry guys the heat from my laptop fan will be enough enough to save us all!

"Earth Will Start Traveling To Space Into a Straight Line To Orbit A New Star"
Me: Wow, Earth Is Such An Intelligent Planet.

What if we have the original narrator?

But that's a story for another "What if?"

[danielivancamacho]

What if Smartphones were never created

I want to point out a few things you forgot in your Video one the earth wouldn't cool as bad as you say for several reasons one our atmosphere would hold in the heat for quite a while and the Volcanic activity would add greenhouse gases to help keep the temp up as well as the greenhouse gases produced by humans which can be amped up if needed

[arashflash]

Kinda disappointed when u use Fahrenheit and not celcius.

[thelixator]

I watched this for schoolwork, epic (Seen ur channel before tho)

[uda]

What's the sounds track lmfao. These tunes you have are amazing.

[miked]

You forgot that the air would get so cold that it would rain down like liquid nitrogen.
