What If We Had Two Suns?



How hot would the Earth be with two suns?

First off, on Kepler-16b "it's a little frosty," Boss said. "Though it is closer to its stars than Earth is to the sun, the stars aren't quite so bright, so the temperature of this planet would only be about 200 Kelvin," or nearly minus-100 Fahrenheit. Earth would be even chillier under the same stellar circumstances.

What if Jupiter was a star?

Things would get a lot more fun if Jupiter was replaced with a Sun-like star. If our gas giant became 1,000 times more massive, the Solar System would go wild. Asteroids would crash into planets, and planets would change their orbital course. Some of them might end up ejected from the Solar System altogether.

What if Earth had no moon?

It is the pull of the Moon's gravity on the Earth that holds our planet in place. Without the Moon stabilising our tilt, it is possible that the Earth's tilt could vary wildly. It would move from no tilt (which means no seasons) to a large tilt (which means extreme weather and even ice ages).
