Hello,
Here is my question:
Just imagine the sun would stop shining, without exploding. It would just totally disappear without causing harm. How long would human race survive without the benefits of the sun? 10 minutes? 10 hours? 10 days? Could it stand the cold longer? How long would it take for the atmosphere to get below zero degrees?
And here is the answer I got from yahoo answers:
Now I hope to find a specialist who could tell if the human race would live for more than 24 hours or not.
Thanks :)

And here is the answer I got from yahoo answers:
As said above, at least 8 minutes and 19 seconds (it's a mean time for light to reach Earth from the sun). Then the question is, how long will it take until everything is frozen. For example, the temperature on the moon varies between 130 Celsius degrees during day, and -150 Celsius degrees during night. It changes very fast because the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, which is not the case on earth.
It would be interesting to get the point of view of a geothermic specialist, who would analyze all of this. Because my idea is that none of us would have enough time to react, and I think we would all die pretty fast.
If it isn't the case, and we have time (a few days would be enough I think) to go deep down under the earth, then everything can be imagined.
Now I hope to find a specialist who could tell if the human race would live for more than 24 hours or not.
Thanks :)
