A bit - probably weeks to months.
no? more like 24 hours, and only in tropical places. It goes from 85 to 55 in 12 hours right now in reality world
you’d have 24 hours to
Comment on Gottem. :)

I honestly think you’re forgetting the atmosphere and like, physical ground under our feet. It doesn’t generally drop to 0C overnight unless it’s already pretty close to 0C because of the heat trapped in the atmosphere and emanating from the earth’s core. It’s going to be more like a week for most places.

And the sun doesn’t generally blink out of existence. Think about how much energy is on the other side of the earth, it’s not like the two sides of earth are separate they are one huge interconnected energy system. What happens on one side affects the other

You are also forgetting the atmosphere and ground (and oceans, of course) - It being one huge interconnected energy system is exactly why I’m saying it would take longer. This guy’s calculations reckon we’d lose about 1 degree per 12 hours. January’s global average temperature was around 13°, so that’d be 6 and a half days. July last year it was 17°, so that’d be a whole 8 and a half days. It’s going to be more like a week.

The irony of a guy with PHD in his username not understanding that the Sun blasts the Earth with an absolutely unreal amount of energy

Expanding a little on the last part, Earth’s orbital velocity is about 29.8 km/s so that’s the speed at which we would suddenly be leaving the former location of the solar system in a direction that depends on what time of year it happened. Regardless of direction though, the escape velocity of the Milky Way around where we are is about 544 km/s so there’s no way we’d be leaving the galaxy. On the other hand the plane of the galaxy is only about 6 degrees off from the galactic center at the moment, so if this happened at the right time of year (don’t know when that is) we could launch somewhat towards the core. We would not however get very close to it because the sun’s own orbital velocity is about 230 km/s so we’d still be in close to the same galactic orbit overall, just potentially a bit more eccentric.

Do you think Jupiter would take over as our center of the solar system? Hopefully it doesn’t sling us into deep space or another planet
Klear@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I wouldn’t sling us into deep space because we are in deep space and will continue to be in deep space.

I meant like away from the rest of our planets. Space= above earth. Deep space= beyond solar system. No one considers earth space
