The ablation and vaporization caused by Earth's fall on a decaying trajectory towards the Sun may remove Earth's mantle, leaving just the core, which will finally be destroyed after at most 200 years. [102] [103] Earth's sole legacy will be a very slight increase (0.01%) of the solar metallicity following this event. [104]: IIC

The Earth is destroyed by the Sun at "high noon", though animals and plants come to an end by 5:00 am, meaning that the time that Earth can remain habitable to animals is very short, lasting only just 1 billion years, with the present day being the halfway point through that relatively short time.
After the sun celebrates its 11 billionth birthday, scientists believe it will continue to expand to the point where it is 166 times bigger than it is now.
When our sun dies about 5 billion years from now it might look something like this glowing celestial display which was captured from 4,600 light-years away.
However, as the Sun grows gradually hotter (over millions of years), Earth may become too hot for life as early as one billion years from now. [212] [213] [214] 1.3 billion Various It is estimated that all eukaryotic life will die out due to carbon dioxide starvation. Only prokaryotes will remain. [211]
This could eject it from the Solar System altogether [1] or send it on a collision course with Venus, the Sun, or Earth. [ 10 ] Mercury's perihelion-precession rate is dominated by planet–planet interactions, but about 7.5% of Mercury's perihelion precession rate comes from the effects described by general relativity .
