what about life?

we couldn't

>>5781196
eventually all life would cease because of the death of vegetation.

>simple answer.

well we would still get a little bit of light form the moon (about one candle). not sure if that would be enough to power solar panels

>>5781202
what about deep sea life and Hydrothermal vent
what about the Extremophiles and yeti lobster?!

>>5781208
All of them, -all living things- are indirectly linked to the production of oxygen by plants and the water cycle.

>really simplistic answer

>>5781211
WHAT ABOUT CHEMOSYNTHESIS?

Why is there no sticky with accepted /sci/ answers for this sort of thing?

Please think two minutes about the effect of no vegetation in the Oxygenation of the seas.

>>5781225
then why are we looking for life on Europa anyways with the point you've given?

>>5781235
An unknown form of life non CHON dependant?
Is there absolutely no O? Is there absolutely no H?

>sun disappears
>we all freeze to death in about fifteen minutes
>every living things on the planet freezes and dies

>>5781235
Holy shit, Europa is beautiful.

Also, doesn't life need ENERGY to function properly, even when we're talking about the most primordial, one-cell organisms? And geothermal energy has nothing to do with the sun, but rather with the planet's core. So wouldn't it be possible for some rogue planet, ejected into space and not orbiting any star but orbiting the galaxy directly, to host life?

>we would still get a little bit of light form the moon

>>5781235
all life on earth is reliant on oxygen. It was there, its produced by plants and constantly being refreshed, and without the sun producing light, plants would die, the food chains would break down, all land life either starves or freezes as the planet inevitably cools from the lack of sun. A few extremophiles might hang on in the deep sea vents, but that will be a losing battle.

in Europa, oxygen is replaced by other chemicals, and the suns energy is replaced by geothermal energy due to Jupiters immense gravity. Because Jupiter isn't going to one day run out of gravity like the sun will one day run out of fuel, the life on Europa will likely be able to survive if the sun were to vanish. Whatever we find on Europa will be some sort of extremophile, and certainly very few land dwellers if any-europa hasn't got an atmosphere and the surface is frozen solid.

>>5781259
Besides energy the life WE know needs Oxygen at its most fundamental level. Energy is nothing without oxidation in cells.

>>5781262
Are you suggesting the moon goddess wouldn't keep the moon shining?

>>5781268
Bacteria.

somebody should make a show about this. Call it "After Sun"

watch more vsauce, ask less questions

Everyone would freeze to death.

>>5781280
you say that like I didn't account for it. An extremophile that feeds off of a heat vent in a frozen, polluted, deoxygenated ocean would be probably be bacteria of some sort.

That's life, sure, but just barely.

well I'm assuming we'd begin hurtling through space in a tangent from the second the sun disappeared, more than likely fly through the asteroid belt, get pelted on the way through, and freeze to death if we survive that.

>>5781284
"Sunset" would be more artistic.
"After Sun" sounds like a Hollywood CGI duuudee 420blzit fuck fest.

>implying we wouldn't just cuddle up next to some magma

>>5781507
You high, son?

>>5781515
you low, bro?

>>5781520
Not exactly

The Atmosphere would freeze in a few days, end of story.

THIS

/lit/ here, what would happen if an asteroid hit the sun? If your answer is "nothing," what if it was a REALLY BIG asteroid?

Byron wrote a pretty good poem about the sun being extinguished

i dont think an asteroid the size of Jupiter would do much

im sorry for being stupid

>>5781205
Are you a fucking retard? Moonlight is sunlight reflected off of the moon. I'm 15 years old and I know that. I don't give a shit if I get banned for this.

>>5782772
I believe baiting 15 year old know-it-alls was the purpose of that post, if it wasn't only joking.

Yeah, you should get banned.

>>5781627
I liked that poem. Thanks /lit/

>>5782772
you didn't have to say you where 15, we knew.
