> - What temperature would the surface be? Cold, really really cold, imagine the coldest winter you can remember, it's going to be colder than that, a lot colder, honestly it's going to be really cold, so cold you can't imagine how cold it's going to be. Lets just say extra socks & a bobble hat aren't going to be much help. > - How quickly would it drop year to year? Year by year? it wouldn't even take one year, assuming you start by moving away from the sun you'll be in a new ice age colder than any before it long before you get half way to the orbit of Mars. > - Would the atmosphere freeze, and if so, what would it look like? Yes, it'll look like ice, what else would it look like. > - What would happen to cities, trees, the ocean, etc? They'll all freeze. ---------- Any other questions? ---------- The only place you've any real possibility of life persisting for a bit is going to be in close proximity to an active geothermal of some sort. Yellowstone for instance might provide a haven for a few humans for a bit longer than elsewhere on the planet.
