The Sun doesn't work like that.

2-3 days before it gets too cold to survive.

About eight minutes, the time it'd take for the last rays of sunlight to travel to Earth.

i reckon 10 minutes. since it takes 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach us, i figure we get 8 'free' minutes. the other 2 is how long it would take everyone alive to freeze to death.

Not very long.

/g/ - too lazy to think of a category for this shit

there's no sun.

>>4845927
>>4845926
um, you do realise that we have this thing called 'night', don't you?

I'd say around 9 minutes.

>>4845933
but heat is being transfered from the day side of the earth

>>4845927

That's not how the atmosphere work. Most of the heat we experience as warmth doesn't come from instantly the suns rays, it comes gradually from the ground. It takes time for this heat to dissipate. That's why it doesn't turn into full-blown winter every night.

>>4845907
8 minutes

>>4845942

No. You have no idea what you're talking about.

>>4845933
OMG UR SO FUKKEN STOOPID

It would be as cold as deep space, etc etc.
We would last possibly 5 nano seconds

>>4845944

Ignore the horrible grammar.

>>4845933
/facepalm
just because no light from the sun is hitting that part of the earth doesnt mean that no heat from the sun is reaching that part of the earth. lern2greenhouse effect

>>4845944
you ever seen the weather in a desert?
120 degrees during the day, 10 degrees at night.

first of all before the sun goes out, it was growing for the past dozen billion years. and it got so big life wouldve not been possible anyway appr 10 billion years before it "went out", and even then, going out means an explosion that pretty much destroys the solar system.

Iceland would survive indefinitely since they've got free heat/electricity from geothermal. Hopefully, we'd get a space colony going as well.

>>4845963
lrn2/astrophysics - 1 solarmas != type 2 supernova

anyone who's answer is '~8 minutes" is fucking retarded

>>4845959
that's because the desert has no humidity.

>>4845959

Ever heard of SI? No, guess not. You're still 258K warmer than most of the solar system.

>>4845970
The food would run out soon. Lack of sunlight destroys the bottom of the food chain. Over a period of time, larger mammals like seals and polar bears would die out due to their prey disappearing.

2-3 days before it becomes too cold to live on the surface in any structure. Indefinite survival is possible deep underground, but there's no way to reach deep enough fast enough.

I bet some people could survive near surface thermal vents by building structures very rapidly.

Humanity would be reduced to a few thousand people at best. It would be hard to feed and maintain people with pure geothermal heat and no way to grow anything outside a biodome.

What if we all wear thick winter jackets to prevent from getting cold like the Eskimos do?

>>4846005
try space suits

>>4845988
lots of life would be fucked, but electricity production can be used for produce production. It's be a lot more expensive, but we could still make our own food.

>>4846025
maybe enough to sustain a small population (you would need to provide light+heat for your crops).

However, once your metal/wood supplies run out, you have no way of replacing them. No wood (it's all frozen) and no way to get temperatures hot enough to make metal.

two words;

nuclear power

>>4846045
A lot would depend on how quickly we adopt nuclear power. Fission would be the stop-gap, but fusion would be the only way to get the massive amounts of power we'd need long term.

>>4846078
We have no way of controlling fusion reactions yet, and likely won't ever develop controlled fusion if the sun were to go out today.

And once the nuclear fuel stockpile runs out, there's no way to replace it.

Pierce the heavens

>>4846095
>nuclear fuel stockpile runs out

you'll be dead from old age by then, who gives a shit

>>4846095
We are on the verge of it now(probably would have reached it years ago if fags had any kind of understanding of what actually happened with Chernobyl and TMI), and necessity is the mother of invention, and we don't even have to worry so much about safety since we would already be in the equivalent of a nuclear winter.

it'd depend how long we can keep energy going.

>>4846102
win

>>4846110
they would arguably be depleted much faster if they were needed to create artificial sunlight for crop production, but we'd hopefully be smart enough to use breeder reactors in that kind of situation.

everything would die out after about 6 moths, humans and smaller animals possibly lasting longer

In canada don't they have this underground thing going on?

also, best thread on /g/ right now

>>4846182
You haven't seen this: >>4844441

How about the lack of oxygen.

NO SUNLIGHT, NO PLANTS PRODUCING OXYGEN GUIS.

>>4846234
I think the lack of oxygen would be one of the less major problems. If the sun was to just go out, or vanish, there would be approximately 8 minutes of anarchy, then we would all instantly freeze to death. Fuck your nuclear power and incubators, when there is no sun, tempreatures would drop below minus 1000.

[spoiler]Atleast im guessing what the fuck do i know im no scientist[/spoiler]

>>4846272
No, if the sun went out there would be 8 minutes of normality, and then anarchy/panic.

>>4846272
You are aware of something called the 'atmosphere', right?

>>4846291
obviously not

>>4846272
SURE IS -1000 DEGREES HERE AT NIGHT TIME.

>>4846291
Oh like thats going to do anything you faggot. Go back to masterbating to pictures of small japanese girls with tentacles in their bottoms you sick fuck

Eat mushrooms, you dimwits. You think all of edible shrooms need the sun?

And whatabout the many abyss of sea, 11km deep and so? Even if they eat the things that fall from the surface, they'd still learn to survive.

Dudes, you underestimate mother nature.

>>4846313
Go back to having a social life and hooking up with 3d women you sick fuck.

TIME TO MAKE THIS /g/ RELATED:

there was a screensaver I saw as a little kid that was a live update of where every single plane was in the world, and whether it was night or day on the planet, and there'd be live updates showing where the planes were and as the daylight shifted.

anyone know what i'm talking about?

>>4846305
Yeah, because during nighttime the sun magically stops sending heat to earth, amirite?

to all you 'atmosphere' fags out there,

how come the sun's rays dont keep adding to eachother so the airtempeture would be 900000000 degrees. OH WAIT IT DOSNT BECAUSE MORE HEAT IS LOST THAN IS ADDED

fag status = told

>>4846328
Holy shit this sounds awesome can we get some of this

>>4846313
You should look into this.

>>4846344
Fuck yeah it was awesome, do want

>>4846065

This anon has his ducks in a row. Nuclear power would come into emergency demand, and companies that manufacture electric heating units would be pressed into emergency manufacturing by the government.
Third world countries would collapse almost immediately, while larger nations would suffer widespread panic.

There would be a year, tops, before the remainders of humanity were living solely in atmospherically sealed bio-domes. As the temperature of Earth drops, wildlife dies, and water freezes, the atmosphere slowly withers away, and humanity becomes a sheltered society that numbers barely over a million, surviving in nuclear powered artificial environments.

>>4846353
VENUS HERE, YOU EARTHLINGS NEED TO BE MORE LIKE ME.

>>4846336
Heat doesn't disappear instantly, it would take a few days to lose most of it.
And even then there's no such thing as -1000 of any temperature.
Go back to school.

>>4846366
Go back to your semen cooled HD4890.

>>4846378
How would semen cooling work?

>>4846328
>>4846344

Ah, I used to have this thing installed. But it sucked up too many system resources on this shitty laptop, so I had to uninstall it. Also, the clouds don't move.

Anyway I forgot the name of the app, but here's something similar:

http://www.timepalette.com/earthdesk.php

>>4846381
Like water cooling, but semen inside the tubes.

okay so sofar,

nuclear power, and greenhouse effect

The sun wouldnt just go out, but it could explode making us die withing seconds.

>>4846383
Mmm. The most interesting part was seeing these tiny dots, just little planes flying everywhere. Was really neat. I'll try out what you linked though, looks ace.

>>4846395
If we're going to be all detailed on this, then lets just say an alien force planted a shield between the earth and the sun, ok? Now stop whining about the details

>>4846395
When it goes red giant it'll most likely engulf the Earth.

>>4846353
No sun = no photosynthesis = no trees = no respiration

Now shut the fuck up and post some furries

>>4846439
I've never posted furry here, I don't know what you're talking about.

YEARS.

That`s what the moon is for, it`s a backup system.
We all nuke the moon at the same time to ignite it.
New mini sun, problem solved.

Sunlight suddenly disappears.
First day or so would be spent in front of the TV/Radio by most people trying to find out what the fuck is going on. When everybody learned what was happening, governments would try to control the population to prevent a panic and keep people in order. But with no sunlight, and with everybody knowing what this implied for our planet, widespread panic would ensue, and most people would stop going to work to fend for themselves. Within days to a week the internet/electricity/gas/water would be seriously affected around the globe.Third world countries' infrastructure would collapse completely, leaving all those living there in complete darkness with no power or supplies. Rioting and looting would occur. Those who could acquire food would survive, but not more than a week or so, before the surface of the earth became freezing and uninhabitable.
Those in more fortunate countries would probably have power/tv/radio for a week or so more, and some sort of relief effort would be set up to stockpile foods and supplies for people. Those who were lucky enough to get underground quickly would survive maybe for a few months. There wouldn't be enough co-operation to set up any form of nuclear-powered bio-domes like people suggest. These things cost money and resources, and the concept of money would all but disappear in an event like this.

>>4846465You cant post furry here anyway.
they just delete it.

>>4846504

Eventually those who were underground would lose the possibility of returning to the surface. With no sunlight, the entire globe would be totally frozen in a matter of weeks. You could not return to the surface without crazy thermal suits, the likes of which couldnt really be found underground where you were hiding. Most people would stay underground as long as their food would last, or until the intense cold penetrated the earth and froze them where they sat.
People underestimate just how cold things would get in the complete absence of light. Temperature changes brought on by greenhouse effect over the last hundred years would be nullified in a matter of days. Oceans would all freeze up, killing everything living in them. Eventually it would get cold enough to freeze the oxygen in our atmosphere. >> End of everything
