What would happen if our sun suddenly went out?

The very last photons from the surface of our star and the last particles that make up the solar wind

have started their final flight towards the Earth.

No one yet suspects that the heart of our solar system has stopped functioning.

8 to 9 minutes later and the sky suddenly turns black.

Darkness descends upon the entire planet.

No matter whether at the moment it's the deep dark of midnight

or a bright sunny noontime at your location,

you can quickly and easily see the difference.

The stars are now all clearly visible against the sheer black backdrop of the sky.

The Moon is not visible at all since there's no longer any sunlight were it to reflect

A moment before the onset of the all and shrouding darkness

due to changes in the magnetic field around the Earth

is the complete and utter cessation of the process of photosynthesis

resulting in plants and cyanobacteria no longer producing oxygen.

This will soon lead to, how shall we say it,

After an hour, true panic reigns over the heretofore day times side of the earth.

Power and communication outages propagate across the entire planet.

Temperatures everywhere drop by a several degrees

and the Earth surface begins to slowly cool.

But from the inside the planet is still heated by its molten core.

24 hours in, dawn has not and will not arrive.

Panic and chaos are enveloping the entire world

State authorities have almost zero control over the situation.

Humankind is trying to figure out what the hell happened

while coping with massive power and water supply outages.

The temperature on the surface falls  to between 5° to 7 °C

and has now decreased by about 15° to 20 °C.

Some species of plants and microorganisms  begin to die.

The inhabitants of the ocean for the time being

The average temperature on earth is now -17 °C.

In areas where there are tectonic faults,

Most plants have already died due to cold or lack of light.

Herbivorous and heat loving animals also begin to die.

In the oceans, phytoplanktons begin to die as well.

and the surface of the ocean is beginning to turn to ice.

By now, scientists and other individuals have realized

what has happened and rushed to organize and equip shelters.

One month in and the Earth is continuing to cool.

And almost the entire planet is now coated with ice.

Virtually all plants and cyanobacteria have perished.

Some species of trees, especially conifers, are still alive.

In fact, most of the earth living things have died.

some bacteria still carry on with their normal  life activity.

is now found only near geothermal springs  and under water.

Interestingly, the layer of ice on the surface of the ocean

And in the areas of oceanic tectonic faults

and geothermal sources, the water is still warm.

One year in and the surface of the Earth and the oceans

According to professor David Stevenson at CalTech

the temperature on the surface of the earth

should drop to about -40 °C and that's the same in Fahrenheit.

Life endures now only deep in the earth oceans,

might be able to survive on the surface of the planet

in places like Iceland and other areas with large amounts of geothermal activity.

Professor Stevenson believes that the Earth

will continue to cool for another several thousand years.

Until the surface temperature reaches approximately -160 °C.

And let's not forget about the gravity of the Sun.

After all, it's unlikely that the Sun could suddenly go out

and other celestial bodies in their orbit
