Ignore the fact that it's a troll. What would actually happen?

>> No.1571939

Uh... there would be a massive amount of heat produced and the sun made of ice would turn very rapidly into a steam and disippate...

>> No.1571940

YOU CAN'T HAVE A SUN MADE OUT OF ICE

It wouldn't be a sun it would be an ice planet which are completely different things.

What would happen is people bitching at you about how a sun cannot be made of lava or ice since it is a self sustaining fusion event.

How about you define the problem better.

I'm going to awesome the sun on the left is a small red dwarf while the sun on the right is a brown dwarf that's been largely stripped of its atmosphere leaving behind an icy surface. The two would merge in an enormous mass of interstellar flames, expelling radiation throughout the system.

What would happen if a star and a sphere of ice of the same size collided?

I am ignoring the fact the image is used for trolling and trying to take the OP seriously. And seriously, stars do not work that way.

How about just "big ball of lava" and "big ball of ice" then?

>>1571950

The sun would completely melt down the ice planet. The sun is a constant Nuclear Reaction and the ice planet is much less stable than the sun.

The ice would suddenly start melting down JUST ON APPROACH and should they make contact I doubt much of the ice planet would even be there to make contact with the extreme heat of the suns surface.

The real question is, How close could it get before it melts?

>> No.1571974

>>1571966
Say it's going fast enough that there will be a collision without being melted more than 75%.

>> No.1571981

>>1571974
If going with the "actual star and equal mass of ice" definition of the problem, then you just changed the velocity of the star and added to the mass... that ice could be absolute zero and all it would do is join in the fusion.
