NASA has calculated the timeline for Earth’s final days, revealing how life will end long before the planet is consumed by the Sun.
NASA has calculated the eventual extinction of life on Earth, driven by the Sun’s evolution. While Earth will remain in orbit for billions of years, life on the planet has a much shorter timeline.
As the Sun ages, it will swell into a red giant, but long before that, its increasing brightness will cause Earth’s temperature to rise, eventually leading to uninhabitable conditions.
Rising temperatures will cause more water to evaporate, trapping heat in a feedback loop known as the “moist runaway greenhouse effect.” This process will make the Earth too hot to sustain life.
