When the sun runs out of it's hydrogen fuel (in about 5 billion years) it will begin shedding it's outter layers and become a Red Giant, swallowing Mercury, Venus and probably Earth. But if you're asking how long it would take for us to notice if the sun were to spontaneously shut off, it would take about 8 and a half minutes. That's how long it takes the sun's light to reach Earth.

Can a neutron star die If so how What happens?

A neutron star may be considered "already dead"; it has stopped producing energy. A neutron star will gradually get dimmer, as it cools down. If it gathers enough mass from its surroundings, it may turn into a black hole.A neutron star may be considered "already dead"; it has stopped producing energy.

How does absorption explain why light becomes dimmer as it travels through the air?

Absorption occurs when light is taken in by particles in the air, converting it into other forms of energy. As light travels through the air, it encounters molecules that absorb some of its energy, causing the light to become dimmer as less light reaches its destination.


How can I replace a dimmer switch with the keyword "efficiency" in my home?

To replace a dimmer switch with a focus on efficiency in your home, you can install an LED-compatible dimmer switch. LED bulbs are energy-efficient and using a dimmer switch with them can help save electricity and reduce energy costs.

Can a dimmer switch help reduce the use of energy in a home?

No. this is because a dimmer switch increases resistance to produce less light. in other words, the dimmer switch converts the electrical energy into other forms such as heat by increasing resistance and is thus not saving energy, but wasting it.


Are Chloroplasts the energy producing parts animal cells?

No, chloroplasts are the energy producing part of plants.


Can energy save bulb be used with any dimmer?

Compact florescent do not dim. They are all or nothing. You can use them where you have a dimmer switch. They will come on from about half way to full on. Dimmer switches don't like them and the switch will burn out faster.


Is saving energy an act of producing energy?

No, saving is not the same as producing. Saving means taking what's already there and making it go further. Producing means actually making energy.
