The expanding sun: If all else fails, the Earth will almost certainly come to an end in about 5 billion years when it falls into the expanding sun.
It's perfectly natural — stars like ours simply turn into red giants near the end of their lifespans, and their inner planets become toast.
Terrestrial inhabitants need not worry, since they'll be boiled off much earlier by the sheer heat of the growing star.
Some scenarios say we've got only a billion good years left on this planet — rather gloomy, since life in some form has been around for about 3.7 billion years and this means we're already close to the end.
Then again, it's also possible that scientists of an advanced future civilization could simply tow out Earth to a safer orbit, after having presumably rendered Mars and Venus inhabitable as well.
That's if they don't manage to accidentally destroy the planet first.
I found this disturbing, and they say scientist can somehow tow Earth to a different orbit? Impossible.

The sun will lack hydrogen, become a red giant and destroy the world.

Hakan, you're very stupid...
It will happen this way, and it is the truth.
When the Sun dies out, or enlarges, earth is by it, so it will burn earth. |

If our sun expands, and we're all safe on Mars. The Sun will eventually die and cause a supernova. If that doesn't kill us, then the Black Hole that follows will.

| We are far away from the sun. Earth orbits a year. 365 days. At points of this orbit the Earth isn't even near the sun. During it's orbit at some points, it is farther away from the sun. |

| @asome, it eventually will, but we will be dead when that happens, then we will be with God (sorry atheists) and he'll create a new living planet like he did with Earth. |
