I was smoking a joint the other day and started wondering if earth will ever become a star If it gets blown up by technology, fire, and nuclear reactions.
Re: Stars
No. Stars are nuclear fusion reactors. Hydrogen converted to helium under immerse gravitational pressure.
At the very worst it could become a Venus-like hellscape with a runaway greenhouse effect. Though that's probably unlikely.

Re: Stars
if we managed to make Saturn collide with Jupiter, do you think the critical mass would be reached to make the mix flash up?

Re: Stars
Doubt it. Even if you put all the planets together as well as the asteroids and comets the Sun is still 30 times that mass.

Re: Stars
thanks for the data, I knew that Saturn and Jupiter style gas giants were stars to small to light up , I didn't know by what order of size.

Re: Stars
No. It might become part of one, when the Sun expands into a red giant and eats us up.

The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

Re: Stars
Saturn is about as far from Jupiter as Jupiter is from the Sun. Getting them close enough to collide would be quite a feat.

Re: Stars
If Uranus tells Saturn that Jupiter has been sleeping with his wife then that could really blow up big time.
