The End of Everything: What Happens When the Sun Consumes the Earth?

Описание: ☀️ The Death of the Sun: Earth’s Final 24 Hours
We think of the Sun as eternal, but it is a clock ticking down to a zero hour. In about 5 billion years, our star will run out of hydrogen and transform into a Red Giant, a cosmic titan that will literally consume its children.

This video breaks down the minute-by-minute timeline of the Earth’s final day.

🔴 The Red Giant Phase
Currently, the Sun is in its stable "Main Sequence" phase. But eventually, the core will collapse and overheat, causing the outer layers to swell to over 100 times their current size. By the time the "final day" arrives, the Earth will be a scorched, airless husk of molten rock.

⏱️ The Final Countdown:
08:00 AM: The Sun fills half the sky—a deep, pulsating crimson orb. The surface of the Earth is a global ocean of lava.

12:00 PM: The Sun's corona makes physical contact with the Earth. Friction begins to drag our planet out of its stable orbit.

02:00 PM: Orbital decay accelerates. Earth begins to spiral inward, stretched into an egg shape by the Sun's immense tidal forces.

04:00 PM: The Roche Limit. Earth reaches the point of no return. The Sun’s gravity overcomes the Earth's own gravity, shattering the planet into a ring of molten debris.

06:00 PM: The Final Descent. The atoms of our mountains, oceans, and history are vaporized and assimilated into the solar interior.

✨ Stardust to Stardust
The Sun will eventually shed its skin, creating a glowing Planetary Nebula and leaving behind a tiny, cold White Dwarf. The matter that was once "us" will be scattered back into the vacuum, waiting to become the building blocks for a new generation of stars and planets.

We are made of star-stuff, and to the stars, we shall return.
