The crash would unleash as much energy as a magnetic flare or coronal mass ejection, but over a much smaller area. “It's like a bomb being released in the sun's atmosphere,” Brown says.Jul 24, 2015

But the sun's high-energy light would bombard the atmosphere splitting those water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
What would happen if iron hit the Sun?
As long as there's still viable fuel at the core of the star, and adequate temperatures and pressures, it'll continue fusing and releasing energy. If you could swap out the hydrogen in the Sun with a core of iron, you would indeed kill it dead, or any star for that matter. It wouldn't explode, though.
What if the Sun disappeared for 5 seconds?
Consider this: if the sun was to disappear for exactly five seconds it would be 8.2 minutes AFTER the fact before anyone on Earth would even know that it had happened, so by the time we were aware the event would have passed.
Can Earth survive without the Sun?
All plants would die and, eventually, all animals that rely on plants for food — including humans — would die, too. While some inventive humans might be able to survive on a Sun-less Earth for several days, months, or even years, life without the Sun would eventually prove to be impossible to maintain on Earth.
What would happen if an asteroid hit Mars?
"It if does hit Mars, it would deliver as much energy as 35 million megatons of TNT," estimates Yeomans. For comparison, the asteroid strike that ended the dinosaurs on Earth 65 million years ago was about three times as powerful, 100 million megatons.
How much gold is in the Sun?
2.5 trillion tons Eventually, scientists calculated that the Sun contains almost 2.5 trillion tons of gold, enough to fill Earth's oceans and more. Still, that's just eight atoms of gold for every trillion atoms of hydrogen — a tiny amount when compared to the mass of the Sun.
How long would we live if the sun died?
A relatively simple calculation would show that the Earth's surface temperature would drop by a factor of two about every two months if the Sun were shut off. The current mean temperature of the Earth's surface is about 300 Kelvin (K). This means in two months the temperature would drop to 150K, and 75K in four months.
What would happen if the sun turned into a black hole?
What if the Sun turned into a black hole? The Sun will never turn into a black hole because it is not massive enough to explode. Instead, the Sun will become a dense stellar remnant called a white dwarf.
What if the sun disappeared for 5 seconds?
Consider this: if the sun was to disappear for exactly five seconds it would be 8.2 minutes AFTER the fact before anyone on Earth would even know that it had happened, so by the time we were aware the event would have passed.
