What if Earth was as Big as the Sun?

In case you did not know the Sun is bigger than the Earth. Yes, From the surface the sun looks like its no bigger than the Moon. But that's because of how far away it is from the Earth I think 150 million kilometers to be exact. The Sun radius is 695700 Km approx, The Earth radius is 6371 Km approx that's a huge size difference. The Sun is so big that 1.3 millions earths could fit Inside it and it makes up 99.68 percent of the total mass of our solar system. So in short the Sun is really Big. So let's time to imagine about the Earth.


What would our solar system be like if the Earth is bigger than Sun?

If the Earth were bigger than the Sun, everything about our solar system would change. Currently the Earth's conditions are ideal for supporting life. The state are supported by an equation, where the size of the Earth, the distance between the Earth and the Sun as well as the Size of the Moon all add up to Equal Life. Change something in the Equation especially something having to do with the sun and its likely that life on this planet would no longer be possible.


Because well the Earth would be so Big the gravity would be so great and the magnetic field around the Earth is very high that your bones would instantly break. That being said if the Earth were bigger than the Sun, depending on its density, it would starts fusion in its core and would become a star itself. Any planet more than 13 times the mass of Jupiter which is roughly approx 4000 Earth's masses generate enough heat and pressure in its core to create fusion reaction.


If the Earth is bigger than the Sun than the Earth become Sun because of high quantity of heat and pressure and The Sun become Earth due to Explosion and less amount of heat and pressure. We all Know the Formation of Earth is done by the Sun and The Earth is the small part of the Sun. The Earth would than be classified as a Star, not as planet. Than our solar system would be a binary Star system.


Binary system are Star systems that consists of Two stars orbiting around their common barycenter.

Binary Star system are not uncommon in fact, statistics show that around 80 percent of the Stars in our galaxy are binary Stars.


The End Notes

If the Earth is bigger than the Sun than overall the life is not possible in the Earth. I think that's enough about this topic and do not forget to like my post and also do not forget to share post in different platforms.
