When will the earth die out?

Question

When will the earth die out?

Answer 1

It will die out when our sun dies. The only thing that is likely to die out earlier is the creatures and lifeforms inhabiting it. It's not the earth dying out, it's the climatic conditions on the planet changing in a way which is less beneficial for the lifeforms that have evolved on it in the past.

Answer 2

When the sun fries it to a crisp, in a billion years approx.

Answer 3

relax the world is gonna be OK ,

it will be here for billions more years to come

humanity and surface life is another matter

here is my collection of ends of the humanity

many predictions are for the years between 2012 and 2020

Nostradamus,the mayas ,Egyptians Jesus ,

and Terrance Mckennas time wave who put the magnetic output of the world into a computor projection that stopped at zero in 2012,this means the globe has stopped and it starts turning

the other way ,the resulting change of currents will turn the planet into a giant washing machine cleaning the surface

then there are the meteors storms (armageddon) ,the gulf of Mexico is the result of one that would have made life exstinct for a while ,this would result in an other ice age because globe gets covered in dust for a few years,blocking out the sun.

then there are more posible natural disasters

Volcanos are coming to life everywhere

the weather has giant storms like hurricanes ,tornados ,tidal waves ,earth quackes

a shift of the earth crust ,would change the position of the poles

under Anrarctica were found fosilized tropical plants indication the pole must have been in a different place then (the mainland atlantis is thought to be under it )

Apart from that , the biggest threat to any species of exstinction is ,when there are too little ,and when there are too many ,so overpopulation is also a threat

and the USA appears to be gunning for a global nuclear conflict .it is most likely that this will get us first ,looking at present politics

the planet will probably survive unless humanities bombs result it to be knocked out of its orbit

so many ends to choose from

if it wasnt so serious it would be rediculous

meanwhile enjoy life .and make the most of it at least we are all in the same boat

Answer 4

1.68 Times 10 to the 23 Power.... YEARS!

Answer 5

Nobody knows for sure; it is one of the biggest mysteries out there. It will definitely end soon if we keep polluting it.

Answer 6

i am not a scientist but if the earth is treated badly as it is and it continues maybe just maybe in a thousand years but thats just a guess.

Answer 7

Probably never - it'll keep going through system cycles of Glaciation/deglaciation/interglaciation.

Answer 8

Not for a long long time.  Maybe 1-2 billion years.

Answer 9

if you mean life on earth, that's hard to say. of the earth's estimated 10 million species, 300,000 have vanished in the past 50 years.  each years, 3,000 to 30,000 species become extinct.  a lot of human activity is speeding that up since we tend to overtpower all the other species in one way or another.

if you mean the planet itself, that'll be about 15 minutes after our nearest star - the sun - goes out supernova style
