Will earth ultimately rest in a frozen state or something like that on Mars?

Question

Earth was once in molten state and probably as bright as sun. Then it cooled and getting cooled each day since it was formed. But ppl now say that earth is not losing any heat and may gain more of it with greenhouse effect. Does it suggest that earth is again likely to start glowing just like sun. But earth's past experience reveals that in case it was formed out of sun it has cooled over the years.

Answer 1

Well mars had no water so freezing is out of the question....

Answer 2

The greenhouse effect due to global warming will not get as bad as that. If all the available fossil fuels are burned (and idiot humans are likely to do just that over the next 500 years), then the level of CO2 in the atmosphere will rise from about 300 ppm to about 700 ppm. That is about as high as it has ever been in the past---but those periods had global climates that were very warm, even at the Poles, and lots of shallow seas. So we're not going to start glowing anytime soon. Ultimately, the Earth will be destroyed when the Sun becomes a red giant star. The Sun won't actually engulph the Earth, but it will become 100 times brighter, which is bad, very bad. Before that, the Earth may well lose all its atmosphere and come to resemble a warmer version of Mars. But that's billions of years in the future.

Answer 3

To answer you question directly, the Earth will 'ultimately rest' as a burned out cinder, after our sun swells into a red giant and bakes us for about a billion years.

This assumes we won't spiral into the sun at some point, which is certainly the fate of Mercury and Venus, which would mean we would completely cease to exist.

Oddly enough Mars may have a renascence during this time, warming enough to regain liquid oceans and a thick atmosphere. Mars may have the last laugh after all.

Answer 4

The answer is more complicated...
First, it is more likely that we will poison our atmosphere and make the place "un-livable".
If that does not happen, the sun, in 10 billion years, will go supernovae. It will explode and the burning radiation with cremate all plañets from Mervury to Mars, even probably Saturn, engulfing them into scorching head.
Then the sun will collapse on itself to become a red giant, just not big enough to become a black hole.
If there is any remnant of our planet, it will simply cool off to near zero K, and so will all the other planets (IF they survive the supernovae of our sun).
Not much hope eh?
But, well, we won't be there.

Answer 5

Doubtful, it has a lot to do with the distance from the sun. The total energy in versus the total energy out. In theory, we could become Venus, with greenhouse gases out of control, or Mars, frozen, but reality is we are between them in distance, and so catch intermediate solar radiation, which is the dominant factor.

Answer 6

In 5 billion years the sun is going to die out (explode) and when that happen earth will be in a frozen state.

Answer 7

In more or less one billion years our Sun will get so big that its rays will make earth a molton rock like Mercury.During one stage the so called "Green Zone" of suns rays will shift towards Mars and mankind will try to migrate there and if they didnt Sun will engluf them eventually before destroying itself into a black hole.

Answer 8

No, the Vogon Destructor Ships will show up long before then.

Answer 9

I wish. They have discovered frozen water at the poles.

Answer 10

no not nesessarly , but that possibility of being like mars seems somewhat possible
