For ages, civilisations across the globe have done research about the impending doom that one day will wash away life from the earth. Different civilisations throughout the centuries have made predictions regarding the same. Scientists have developed many satellites and probes and sent them to space for research purposes. Space research organisations like NASA, ISRO and SpaceX have launched many space shuttles to explore deep space, the farthest corners of the galaxy. Many robots are sent to explore and figure out the questions that are important to figure out for the sake of mankind.
According to a study done on Nature Geoscience, the end of the earth will happen due to the sun. The cataclysmic event will take place after around a billion years. The radiation from the sun will spike so high that the temperature will vaporise the whole face of the earth. There will be no oxygen left for breathing and no atmosphere to keep the balance in the air, the study added.
The heat and radiation from the sun will vaporise other planets one by one. According to the research done by NASA, the two poles of the earth will shift and the quantity of carbon in the air will increase. The lack of oxygen will cause most lifeforms on Earth to go extinct. The glaciers of the north and south poles will melt very rapidly, leading to a planetwide flood. As per the scientific evidence, the earth will run into a ball of ice, and a new ice age will start.
The most widely accepted scientific theory is that Earth’s fate is tied to the life cycle of the Sun. In about 5 billion years, the Sun is expected to enter the red giant phase, expanding significantly and likely engulfing the inner planets, including Earth. This would mark the end of the planet as we know it. A study in Astronomy & Astrophysics claims the process of the Sun’s transformation into a red giant and the eventual shedding of its outer layers, leading to the formation of a planetary nebula.
