• Question: What could affect the power of the Sun? if the power of the Sun drains off... could it be passed to earth just like an eletric shock of power that would stop the Earth from dying. So in the other way Earth would still die because of exagerated power, but if not... the power could destroy the whole Solar System and more?

      The sun will eventually destroy the solar system as it dies: it will expand, then collapse, then explode. We don’t need to worry about it too much because that’s a few million years away and all life on earth will probably be dead by then.

      It’s a shame, because I’m sure it would be very pretty

      The sun like any high-energy body in the universe doesn’t last forever. It will eventually burn up all it’s energy and then slowly collapse.

      I am afraid it’s not possible for it to transfer energy that has been burned up. Even if, the earth is a bit too small to hold all that sun’s mass. It would be coon though if we could get our hand on all that surplus power.

      Would put the global energy crisis to an end. Maybe one day we will be able to siphon the power of the stars directly!
