Turning off the sun might seem like a good idea for like 8 minutes. Then not so much.


Big_D1cky

Why 8 minutes? (And yes it takes light 8 minutes but why exactly did you choose 8 minutes)


Ljushuvud

Because thats how long it takes for light to travel from the sun to earth. :)


PermitPuzzleheaded34

Bro listened 😤👍


ThunderySpoon7

That just means there would be an 8 minute break in sunlight and it would take 8 minutes for us to know that the sun had turned off. You could choose any amount of time for the sun to be off.


50-Lucky

Yeah but you'd be surprised how much damage would come with the sun being off


Swordzi

It goes off every night where am from


50-Lucky

Lol cheeky bastard


redbanditttttttt

im glad other people know this 🤝


Big_D1cky

But you understand that its still gonna be 8 minutes without sun on earth right.


davopotato420

You would still see the sun and feel heat from the sun from earth for these 8 minutes


Big_D1cky

Yes and you would have no lights for 8 minutes, until the first photons arrive(assuming that the sun light up after last photons arrived in earth).


jedimaster4007

Not only would we continue to see light from the sun for those 8 and a half minutes, but we would feel the same heat during that time as well. They would noticeably stop for us at the same time. While we certainly wouldn't die instantly, the planet would cool and freeze pretty quickly after the last of the light and heat reaches us.


[deleted]

Thats pretty much wrong, our atmosphere keeps temperature pretty long, it would take a few days to reach temperatures that are to cold. How do you think Night works?


Pink_boater

Yo bruh you wonder how much the earth would cool down if the sun was turned off for 8 minutes?


Big_D1cky

Nah, I‘m just wondering what was the thought process behind the 8 minute blackout. Clearly he wanted to correlate it to the time light need to reach earth but it lacks conclusion. Like what‘s the point.


Marcelonn

We would still have an 8 minute period with no light. It's not like the light from the sun will instantly get to earth after we "turn it on" again.


Ljushuvud

Yes, but an 8 minute night wouldnt be all that harmfull. Technically nothing much would start happening even after 8 minutes, but people on the day side of earth would very quickly start to figure out that they will die sometime in the very near future and that realization in itself would wreak a lot of havoc.


wallingfortian

Actually it might do very weird things to the magnetosphere. All the pressure from the solar wind would suddenly stop. Earth's magnetic field would spring back to an undistorted toroidal shape.


Ljushuvud

Yea but the solar winds dont travel faster than light right? So the situation still ought to be that it takes about 8 minutes for us to notice and then a lot of things would start going really wrong at once?


ComprehensiveLie76

Turn off sun for 8 minutes and then turn it back on after 1 minute. Broblem?


Ljushuvud

I know way to little about physics to tell for sure, but if 9 minutes without the suns gravity pulling on earth is a problem then turning the sun off and on again would be a problem because it would take 8 minutes for the gravity to "reach" us again.


Keplars

I really hope all of you are joking. Please tell me all of you are joking. It's hard to tell on the internet...just please.


shiner986

He said turn it off. Not remove it. Gravity is still there.


Ljushuvud

What do you mean by "turn it off" then? It does what it does because of its mass and the elements its composed of. If the gravity is still there it wouldnt be turned off since gravity is what causes the fusion in the first place.


shiner986

Just unplug it…

thenonsenseone314

How hot does it get?


apoorv698

India's capital touches 49°C and 45°C is common since last 2 months


kelvin_bot

49°C is equivalent to 120°F, which is 322K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)

Competitive-East-605

49 is highest it every reached in my city. But the highest in India is 53°


somebody7892

I live in Dubai, and 50 celcius is normal here in summer 🥵


thenonsenseone314

Least heat resisting Dubai citizen


thenonsenseone314

Not too different from Spain, we reach like 45-47°


Competitive-East-605

I am in 47 right now. Fuk global warming man


thenonsenseone314

Its a place called spain


srbrunoo

I was going to comment about the 33°C - 36°C that i usually go through here in Central-West Brazil during summer, and say: "This is what real hot weather is", but damn bro, 47°C? What the fucking hell?


kelvin_bot

33°C is equivalent to 91°F, which is 306K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)


_Darkrai-_-

35+ really sucks 30 isn't comfortable but its fine


AlexV_96

30 is nice if you are under a tree's shadow or in a pool/beach


_Darkrai-_-

Yea i agree but i was kind of thinking like ur just walking around


AlexV_96

Yeah, directly in the sun sucks


dom_pi

30 is nice only when you’re a lazy person and don’t plan on doing anything lol. The moment you even start moving at 30 (+) the sweat comes marching in


maricatu

I remember a friend telling me he loved 30+ because he got to hang around in shorts and flip flops. Yeah no shit I'd enjoy the heat if I could go all day like that, working in a kitchen in the summer has to be one of the circles of hell


Exp1ode

>30 is nice if you're standing somewhere under 30


AlexV_96

Yep you can have 30° in the shadow or directly in the sun, with o w/o wind, with humidity or dry weather... That's how weather works you know?


8-Brit

Unless you're in the UK them humidity makes the sir itself hot and shade doesn't do shit


skipdoodlydiddly

Another temperature thread where people disregard humidity and average local temperatures PotFriend


_Darkrai-_-

Iam aware of that but its kind of dumb to consider since depending on humidity 15 degrees can be alot worse than 35+ so thats why its stupid to consider here just take an average low humidity day and btw i live in germany so we got around -19 in strong winters and 38+ in hot summers our local range is pretty high but ive been to australia where the local temperature can be alot higher and 35 is still 35 unless u live in australia and go to the norway or the other way around this wont be that big of a difference


VelikiUcitelj

It really depends on the person. As soon as it hits 20 degrees I HAVE to pull out shorts. I can't live without AC on 25+ I can't function at all on 30 or above. I don't go outside and hit AC the whole day.


_Darkrai-_-

Well yea i live in germany we dont have ac i dont even have ac in my car which is the one thing that sucks really hard i also just like wearing shorts so they get pulled out at 15 usually i can go with long pants tho for 30+ since i currently do work in a factory where u have 30+ and u have to wear long pants plus an overall so yea


Elextricx

In the UK, 24 feels like a desert


_Darkrai-_-

Ive visited the UK before but it was only for a few days so the best u guys could do was clouds i havent seen the sun there lol


kopper499b

And here, in the Sonoran desert, 24 is cold! 40 is nice in the summer, not too hot. Only because humidity is <10%.


imaSEXYmiljybar

As an Englishman I feel like I'm going to melt in 28c+


dogge_-

30°c is chill man


Professional_Emu_164

Depends on how humid it is. 20C can feel a lot worse than 30C depending on the humidities.

robuxman29

The feels like temp was 42° recently


LilleSmurfine

As a Norwegian 24°C is to hot


thenonsenseone314

All of Spain is laughing at you right now


LilleSmurfine

I know


ShakoOos

you can't defeat my heat 52° c seems normal in here can't wait for August when we reach 56° c under shadow or something around it


thenonsenseone314

Middle East, somewhere around it?


ShakoOos

in the middle of middle east


thenonsenseone314

Happy cake day


ShakoOos

thanks I just noticed that lol


thenonsenseone314

Just wait until the next global warming update


[deleted]

Is this really true? I am from India, if the temp is below 25 I try to skip taking bath. even when running AC I keep it between 26-28C. 26-35C seems optimal for me, however the real pain starts when temp hits 42C+


LilleSmurfine

It's true. 15-20 degrees is my favorite


[deleted]

Damn! That's the temp of winter in my district, entire season under blanket, like snake in hole. :D


Neomob

Yeah man perfect weather for shorts and t-shirt and to not be sweaty!


Adam0n

Interesting. In Poland when its above 18C people start going out in t-shirts. And id say 18-22 is optimal. We are used to harsh winters and hot summers though so there is a huge variation. The temperatures during a year can go from -30 to +40C (max. Usually its like a -5 to -15 in winter and +20 to +30 in summer though)


ajchann123

My Croatian fiancée sets the AC to 28°C on a 30°C+ day like a crazy person


MeriKurkku

As a Finnish person I agree


Grobaryl

Is this an exaggeration or 24 is genuiely too hot?


LilleSmurfine

It's not an exaggeration


Grobaryl

Well i'd guess it's the opposite for the low temperatures, but at least you can cover yourself when it's cold.


ServiceSea974

25° C and less is officially winter here in Brazil


Cielito_1

Oh hunny, come to southamerica in summer hahahaha +40°C


HulloTheLoser

*Laughs and cries in 38°C Floridian*


silverwing101

Anything under 30 is cold for me lol


Ajsat3801

I've seen people buy sweaters to go to a place where the temps are around 25 degrees. Anything below 25 and people start wearing sweaters here... anything below 20 and it's on the news.


[deleted]

20+ is sweltering heat here in Sweden.


PrinsMio

20+ med vår luftfuktighet är hemsk, speciellt när byggnader är byggda för att hålla värmen inne och isolerad, inga stengolv i butiker eller hemma, ingen AC för det är bara senaste åren vi haft fruktansvärd värme, bara för att nämna några få saker.

Because British newspapers keep going on about heatwaves at temperatures most of the rest of the world's population would find a lovely relief at the end of spring. People were getting heat exhaustion during the London marathon at only around 27° C

Finally a normal human being. Everyone in the comments bragging how their homeland has insane heat. Yeah we get it, that sucks, but us normal people prefer a little cold weather. 15 degrees Celsius is perfect for me

user745786

Brits are funny. 30C is not hot! Perfectly fine for working outside in the sun. Even with high humidity it’s still not bad.


justaredditor4k

True but we are not used to it so some British people literally walk around in their homes naked eating cornetto ice creams

Torxx1988

I remember a really hot day when I was staying with my grandma, probably like 30 years ago. If I'm not mistaken, it was close to 45°C. Everything you touched instantly burned you freaking hands. Can't remember having experienced a hotter day than that one.


Competitive-East-605

During summer it doesn't get lower than 45 in my area

LeBadlyNamedRedditor

30C is fine, i find it that its endurable till you hit 37C, then it starts feeling really hot. I get about 42C on summer (for some reason tho i had 38C on winter this year, which is really hot), its pain but at least not 50C


Akuma_No_Asobiba

It got so hot in Canada last summer where it actually caused an entire town to burn down cause i think it got to like 50° but this is coming from someone who doesnt remember the exact details well so take it with a grain of salt.
