What If the Sun Never Went Down Again

Are you one of us? A curious soul who can't live without asking yourself all kinds of thoughtful or even crazy hypotheticals? Like, why do birds fly, what if the sun disappeared right now, or what if it, on the contrary, never set?... Oh hey, why don't we try to figure out the one about the sunset thing?

Our planet rotates at a velocity of 1,037 miles per hour! That's twice as fast as the average speed of a commercial jet. Now the fact that Earth has stopped spinning would mean nothing for the atmosphere, which would keep moving for a while. This would make for winds and waves you've never seen before, even on TV. If Earth stopped, all the water in the seas and oceans would tend to head toward the poles. There would be one massive supercontinent around the equator with south and north poles having turned into oceans. The constant sunlight would heat the planet until the temperature rose above boiling at 212 degrees F. Luck for you, it's HIGHLY unlikely to happen, and even if it did, it would take Earth around 1.9 trillion years to stop existing. It turns out that the Sun isn't big enough to turn into a black hole! It's huge alright, but a star needs to be ten times bigger than the Sun to finally condense into a black hole. Although the black hole would be thousands of times smaller than Earth, its mass would that much greater. You wouldn't see the approach of the black hole, but you might notice our neighboring planets disappear one by one. What if the Sun blew up? If it happened one day, our yellow star would turn into a much cooler red giant. During this transformation, the Sun would consume Venus, Mercury, and Earth. If the Sun exploded, it would shoot out a huge amount of very powerful energy. As soon as it reached the planet, this energy would wipe all life forms off the surface of Earth. If a comet was big enough and it happened to pass close to the Sun, the star's gravity would catch it and accelerate its steep fall up to 373 miles per second. According to scientists, people wouldn't feel even the slightest echo of this event, so, I guess, there's no point in worrying about this scenario.
