What would happen if a planet made of water collided with the sun?

The sun has been providing light and energy to our earth for about 4.5 billion years. It is a giant fireball located 149.6 million kilometers away. Its age is about 4.6 billion years. The sun mainly consists of hydrogen (71%) and helium (26.5%), while other elements such as oxygen, sulfur, iron, magnesium are also present. The process of nuclear fusion continues in the center of the sun, in which hydrogen atoms combine to form helium and energy is produced from this process.

What would happen if a watery planet collided with the sun?

Many people have this question in their mind that what will happen if someday a planet full of water collides with the Sun. According to scientists, the Sun is so big and powerful that no planet in the universe can extinguish it by colliding with it. Even if a planet like "GJ 1214", which has 75% water, collides with the Sun, it will not pose any threat to the Sun. This planet named GJ 1214 is two and a half times larger than the Earth in size and eight times its mass. However, this planet is very small compared to the Sun. Therefore, if such a planet collides with the Sun, it will be negligible compared to the Sun.

the sun will burn brighter

If we assume that a mixture of many water-filled planets collides with the Sun, then instead of getting extinguished, the Sun will start burning more. The reason for this is that plasma is present in the Sun, which does not need oxygen to burn. When a water planet collides with the Sun, the water will turn into steam due to the heat of the Sun and the atoms of hydrogen gas present in it will act as fuel for the Sun. This will increase the energy of the Sun even more and it will start shining more.

the age of the sun will decrease

Currently, the estimated age of the Sun is about 5 billion years. But if a water-rich planet collides with the Sun, its hydrogen will start burning faster. This will increase the size of the Sun and its heat will also increase. However, this may reduce the age of the Sun, and instead of 5 billion years, it will probably last only for 1 billion years.

Danger to humans

If a water-filled planet collides with the Sun, it will also affect the Earth and other planets. The heat of the Sun will increase rapidly and due to its increasing size, the Earth and other planets can come closer to the Sun. This will create extreme heat on Earth, which will pose a great threat to life. This situation can be very dangerous for humans and other organisms, because the increase in temperature will end the favorable conditions for life.
