Scientists have long known the fate of our solar system – and likely the fate of Earth itself. In a few billion years, the Sun will run out of fusion fuel and expand to a “red giant” phase, likely swallowing everything in the solar system up to the orbit of Mars.Oct 17, 2021
How much longer will the earth last?
The upshot: Earth has at least 1.5 billion years left to support life, the researchers report this month in Geophysical Research Letters. If humans last that long, Earth would be generally uncomfortable for them, but livable in some areas just below the polar regions, Wolf suggests.
What year will the earth be destroyed?
about 7.59 billion years This means Earth will likely still be vaporised by the growing star. But don't worry, this scorching destruction of Earth is a long way off: about 7.59 billion years in the future, according to some calculations.

Will humans go extinct soon?
But the general consensus is that it'll top out sometime midcentury and start to fall sharply. As soon as 2100, the global population size could be less than it is now.
Will the sun explode?
Our sun isn't massive enough to trigger a stellar explosion, called a supernova, when it dies, and it will never become a black hole either. In order to create a supernova, a star needs about 10 times the mass of our sun.
Will humans go extinct?
Although the population is still increasing, the rate of increase has halved since 1968. Current population predictions vary. But the general consensus is that it'll top out sometime midcentury and start to fall sharply. As soon as 2100, the global population size could be less than it is now.
Can Earth become a black hole?
After just a few minutes more — 21 to 22 minutes total — the entire mass of the Earth would have collapsed into a black hole just 1.75 centimeters (0.69”) in diameter: the inevitable result of an Earth's mass worth of material collapsing into a black hole. When matter collapses, it can inevitably form a black hole.
What will happen in 1 trillion years?
By the year 1 trillion, the accelerating universe will have infinitely stretched the light from all external galaxies — assuming dark energy truly is Einstein's cosmological constant and not an unstable field that winds up destroying the universe.
How long was a day 5 billion years ago?
According to it, the first evidence of life, 3.5 billion years ago, happened when the day lasted 12 hours. The emergence of photosynthesis, 2.5 billion years ago, happened when the day lasted 18 hours.
