二、阅读理解 素养:思维品质 主题:宇宙探索 难度:中 建议用时:8分钟
The Sun is our primary source of energy and life.However, like everything else, our very own and only star, the Sun also has a lifespan.
Scientists have long been interested in the birth and death of the burning star.The Sun is estimated to be around 4.6 billion years old now.Earlier, experts predicted that the star will shrink down and turn into a white dwarf(白矮星).However, a recent study on the subject revealed that the Sun will turn into a red giant(红巨星), not a white dwarf in the next 5 billion years and it will die in the coming 10 billion years.
According to NASA, after turning into a red giant, the outer layers of the Sun will expand so much that it will reach the orbit of Mars, melting and destroying the planets closest to it, including Earth, if the planet still exists by then.All of these events will take approximately 10 billion years to happen.However, humans will not be around to see the death of our star.It is estimated that all life forms on the planet Earth will disappear in about 1 billion years.
The Sun’s brightness is growing by around 10% per billion years. A great deal of energy is produced by the Sun per second and even a 10% rise in it would be a calamity for the planet. How? Increased brightness means more heat reaching our planet. More heat will mean that the water bodies present on Earth will evaporate(蒸发). And thus the planet and all its life forms will be destroyed.
However, there are theories circulating that while humans and the majority of other living creatures will die in the coming one billion years, other life forms would develop that will be able to withstand(承受) the heat. One thing is certain—humans have only a billion years to survive, unless we can find another planet to live on.
