Answer 1:
This is a great question, but a complicated
one. If there are no plants because the Sun
exploded and is no longer providing light and
warmth on Earth we would definitely all die. The
amount of energy the Sun provides the Earth is
indescribable; it is the driving and sustaining
force of this planet and, pretty much, the whole
solar system. The Sun may explode in millions of
years when it starts running out of helium and
hydrogen to burn, but humans may not even by
around to really witness it. Also, there are small
chances that humans will even be able to survive
the explosion.
Now, if you're thinking that just the plants
die and the Sun is there, it's tough because can't
the Sun help to grow more plants after the
existing ones have died? If there are no plants on
Earth then we don't have enough oxygen to live,
animals and humans don't have the necessary food
to eat, and certain microorganisms which are the
basis of our planet do not have a habitat - just
to name a few things. If you say, what if humans
only ate meat, well think about it. Most of the
animals we eat are herbivores, and if they don't
get their necessary nutrition to live then we
can't get ours either; the whole food web will be
messed up. You could bring aquatic life into this
too because there are plants in bottom of the
ocean.
