I have been searching google for ages and all i find is lore about loki and thor. if gas giants slowly cool and form into ice giants what happens to ice giants? do they just exist forever or what? (prefer an answer that does not include interrupting the ice giants orbit. so no black holes no sun expansion and no rogue cosmic objects.) if everything was fine and not affecting or changing the ice giants over time what would happen to it.
In: Planetary Science
The earth’s crust is made of frozen rock, is one way to think about it. An ice giant isn’t necessarily any different to a normal planet, if it’s frozen all the way through and doesn’t have a heated molten/liquid core then it will just sit there being hit by what ever comes near it, being flung around what ever is impacting it’s orbit the most. It might be hit by something so big that it gets shattered, or it might be hit by so many smaller things that it loses enough mass to get pushed out of orbit, but nothing is really happening to it.
