What happens to ice giants overtime.

40 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

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.

Why? *Something* interrupting its orbit is pretty much inevitable. When the sun goes red giant and loses a whole lot of mass later on and can’t maintain the orbits, this is how something will happen to them.

Then it would stay there. But it’s never fine forever.
