      Most likely the earth would get very hot, the water would evaporate and we would all die :-(. The sun is the right size and the right distance from earth so life can flourish. This is one of the reasons why Mars and other planets to not support life (well that we know of).

      maybe ask this question to the Space zone if you can they may prove me wrong or give you an alternative answer.

      Well firstly the sky would look amazing! And we would never have night time! I’d hate that though, to never be able to sleep properly 🙁

      If they were far enough away that the earth did not heat up, then I assume we could survive. We would have no night time which would be very bad for a lot of animals and even us!

      If even one of the Suns were too close then as Justin said, we would die pretty quickly.
