For a considerable time, humans have been gradually pushing the Earth towards its demise. Global warming, climate change, and various natural disasters serve as evidence of this. Although that day may seem distant, the Earth will inevitably reach its end after enduring these conditions. This prediction is not just speculative; scientists confirm it. Recently, scientists have estimated the number of years left before the Earth meets its end.
According to the Daily Star News website, NASA scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Toho in Japan, have determined the remaining lifespan of Earth using supercomputers and various mathematical models. Their calculations suggest that life on Earth will not survive beyond 1 billion years.
The reason lies in the extreme conditions developing on the planet, making it impossible for life to sustain. NASA attributes this to the increasing heat of the Sun and climate change.
Earth’s Final Day
Researchers believe that the end of life on Earth will be due to the Sun. The Sun’s thermal energy will intensify to such an extent that surrounding planets, including Earth, will be engulfed.
Calculations indicate that life on Earth will become extremely difficult in approximately 999,999,996 years, and by the year 1,000,002,021, all traces of life will vanish. As the Sun’s radius expands, Earth’s temperature will escalate, degrading air quality. Atmospheric changes, influenced by solar storms, will further deplete oxygen levels.
Any Possibility Of Avoiding This Destruction?
Scientists indicate that human activities have significantly impacted climate change, leading to major and adverse alterations on our planet. Nevertheless, experts believe that these changes can be controlled through advancements in technology.
Creating new environments for people and developing artificial ecosystems could potentially save humanity. Furthermore, scientists are exploring the possibility of life on Mars.
