When a giant ball of ice hits a star, there are several possible outcomes depending on the size and velocity of the ice ball and the type of star it hits. In some cases, the ice ball may simply melt upon impact and have no significant effect on the star. However, if the ice ball is large enough and traveling at a high enough velocity, it could potentially disrupt the star's surface and cause a temporary decrease in its brightness.
No, a giant ball of ice cannot extinguish a star. Stars have incredibly high internal temperatures and pressures that are sustained by a constant fusion reaction, making them extremely resilient to external forces. While a giant ball of ice may cause temporary disruptions, it is not capable of extinguishing a star.
The impact of a giant ball of ice on a star's surface can cause a temporary decrease in the star's temperature. This is because the ice ball absorbs energy from the star's surface as it melts, causing a temporary cooling effect. However, the star's temperature will eventually return to normal as the ice melts and dissipates.
Yes, it is possible for a giant ball of ice to form in space and hit a star. In fact, there is evidence that suggests that comets, which are essentially giant balls of ice and dust, have collided with stars in the past. However, the likelihood of such an event occurring is extremely low and would require very specific conditions.
The potential consequences of a giant ball of ice hitting a star depend on the size and velocity of the ice ball and the type of star it hits. In most cases, the impact would likely have little to no effect on the star. However, if the ice ball is large enough and traveling at a high enough velocity, it could potentially cause temporary disruptions on the star's surface and affect its brightness. This could also potentially affect any nearby planets or objects orbiting the star.
