The sun fell out of orbit and is falling towards Earth at terminal velocity. You are the president of the United Nations. You have two choices:

1) Use the Earth's entire nuclear arsenal to destroy the Sun. This will save the Earth but temperatures will drop to absolute zero, causing a second and permanent ice age. World War 3 will erupt in the scramble for oil and energy.

2) Let the Sun crash into the Earth. Everyone will die on impact.

What do you do?

Not really. We'd have 8 minutes before the sun dissappeared (and we lost it as a heat source). The earth also has it's own residual heat stored in the ground. We'd have some time, but not much.

If we drop to absolute zero, then the oxygen will freeze out of the atmosphere into liquids. fleshy organic creatures would all be made extinct almost immediately.

The sun is not in orbit. It is the object around which all the other planetary orbits revolve.

Everything on the earth would be burned away long before impact, dumb ass. We would die from the heat before it got hot enough to burn up our corpses.

The entire nuclear arsenal isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to all the nuclear activity on the sun. Even if they reached the sun's surface, they would do absolutely nothing to alter the sun's path. In fact, all the nuclear warheads would be detonated long before they reached the sun's surface.

Also, the sun is 1.3 million times the mass of the earth. The sun wouldn't even hiccup when it swallowed up the cinder that the earth would be by the time it impacted with the sun's surface.

Your scenario is unrealistic.

There is no "terminal velocity", because the earth does not exert enough gravitational force on the sun to attract the sun toward it, so the sun would not "fall". If anything, the sun would pull the earth out of orbit, and the earth would fall into the sun.

Wouldn't our nuclear warheads just act as fuel for the sun?

Wouldn't the sun scorch the entire planet before it got close enough to impact?
Is impact even the word that should be used? Probably absorb would be more apt.

Let us say that our warheads did impact the sun, wouldn't it either go supernova [which would kill us] or become a black hole? [which would kill us]

true, there is no terminal velocity, but that is not why, nor does any of that make sense. Terminal velocity arises due to air resistance in the atmosphere. It is dependant on altitude above Earth, and its effectively infinite at 100km above the surface. The sun is 1,400,000km across. Therefore there is no terminal velocity.
The earth attracts the sun just as it attracts you (or the moon for a better example). The sun does, however, impart a significantly greater acceleration on the earth, although the total force that each exerts on the other is equal

Sun works with fusion, nukes with fission. If the Sun was hot enough to fuse fissile elements it would be in the middle of a supernova already.
The nukes will explode rather more dramatically than they normally would, but they would not act as fuel.
Making a star go supernova is a long and complicated series of cascading bursts, fusing heavier and heavier elements. The best we could hope for is a planetary nebula where the core throws off the mantle and then fizzles out into a white dwarf.

Okay first up terminal velocity is when drag = thrust so there is no resultant force and acceleration.
Anything in a circular orbit is at terminal velocity because it is not accelerating towards the centre at all. That velocity is 0.
This is actually quite possible in deep space due to the fact that photons and shit have momentum.
As a photon hits an object it pushes it ever so slightly. If we have a large flat object between two stars then it could theoretically be pushed by the larger one up to a terminal velocity towards the other one.

>>562962820
The earth does not exert enough gravitational force on the sun to attract it. Since the sun's gravitational force is so much greater than that of the earth, the earth's gravitational pull is insignificant. If the sun had an orbit within the solar system, and it somehow fell out of that orbit, the earth still would not alter the course of the sun. The sun would alter the course of the earth. You're not being logical, you're being argumentative to boost your super ego with your pseudo intellect.

The terminal velocity of a falling object is the velocity of the object when the sum of the drag force and buoyancy equals the downward force of gravity acting on the object.

The "total force that each exerts on the other is not equal. The sun's gravitational force is just under 28 times that of the earth. The two do not cancel each other out or equalize.
>>
Attack the Sun from behind. It's dark on the back side, like the moon.
>>
>>562964875
F=-GMm/R^2
force is equal to (negative)(the gravitational constant)(Mass of attracting object)(Mass of the attracted object)/(distance)^2
this means that the force the sun exerts on the earth IS EQUAL TO the force the earth exerts on the sun. HOWEVER, since the sun is 333,000x more massive than the earth, the ACCELERATION of the sun is very low compared to that of the earth
