Question
Write a science based paragraph on ‘What if the sun did not rise’?
✓
Answer
The sun is a star and the centre of our solar system. Everything in our solar system revolves around the sun.
If the sun were to suddenly disappear, Earth and the other planets would retain their forward motion, effectively flying off into outer space in a straight line.
If the Sun didn’t rise means the Earth’s rotation had come to a screeching halt.
Sunrise and sunset are a result of the earth’s rotation so we will not get to see sunrise or sunset. Earth’s spinning generates the magnetic field at the core and it is saving us from harmful rays from the sun.
Without sun it would be very dark. No sun means no plants and no animals. Of course, without sun none of us would even exist.
Moon will disappear, because the moon dose not produce light. We only see the moon because sunlight is reflected by the moon.
Without the sun’s warmth, Earth would quickly become a much colder place. Life would be difficult, oceans will freeze.
Without sun rays, all photosynthesis on earth would stop. All plants would die.
All animals that rely on plants for food, including humans would die.
