The Sun Will Destroy Earth Sooner Than You Might Think. Everything must end. There are plenty of ways Earth could go. It could smash into another planet, be swallowed by a black hole, or get pummelled to death by asteroids. Thereâs really no way to tell which doomsday scenario will be the cause of our planetâs demise. But one thing is for sure - even if Earth spends the rest of its eons escaping alien attacks, dodging space rocks, and avoiding a nuclear apocalypse, there will come a day when our own Sun will eventually destroy us.
The Sun shines by turning hydrogen into helium in its core. This process is called nuclear fusion. Fusion happens when lighter elements are forced together to become heavier elements. When this happens, a tremendous amount of energy is created.The famous scientist Albert Einstein discovered a formula which shows how much energy can be created from a small amount of mass.his can only happen in places which have extremely high pressures and temperatures. At the center of the Sun, the temperature reaches 16 million degrees K, and the pressure is more than a billion times the atmospheric pressure on Earth! The Sun converts about 5 million tons of mass into energy every second.
