We have a VERY VERY long time to plan for this eventuality. It is said that the sun will become hot enough to turn the Earth into a Venus like planet in only 250 million years. If men are still alive (whatever we evolve into), then we definitely have the technology to find another earthlike planet around another star, even if our spaceships only went 250,000 Kph.
If we decide to stay past the Venus phase, the sun will cook away the atmosphere in roughly 1 billion years. The earth will fall into the sun 3 billion years from now, but it will no longer be the earth I know. It will look more like a crusty dried up turd, but I know how you feel. I love my Earth now. It's so blue and cuddly.

Well when the sun goes red giant in about 5 billion years I honestly dont believe that the human race will be here due to extinction,, We can determine this by studying history, And suppose man is still alive at that time im sure they would have inhabited other planets by this time, But anything left on the earth would not survive because the sun would swell to the area of venus consuming Both inner planets and the earth would be completley scorched and nothing would survive the intense heat, All the oceans would evaporate during this slow ongoing process, This would be a time of great suffering as this would take place very slowly, SG

I was freaked out when I first heard of that when I was 5. the thought of the place i lived in and life everywhere all of a sudden bursting into flames worried me and the fact that it could actually happen. But now that I'm many years older, it doesn't bother me. its not like I'd be alive for that to happen. and it couldn't be that bad. by the time millions of years pass, if humans are still around, we'd probably have screwed up the world enough so that it wouldn't really matter if it burned up.

the Sun wont reach that stage in its life cycle for million n billions of years. so even if something hasnt come along and caused the extinction of the human race, perhaps technology will have advanced so much by then that we as the human race have already found a new place to live besides the Earth.

if the sun doesn't destroy the earth then man will.By the time the sun engulfs the earth we will all be dead and hopefully the future of mankind will manage space travel and go destroy another planet.

Yes that will happen if we continue making cars, making more factorys and that affect because we are losing air and sun is hitting us more and mountains are melting and we get more water and in 20 or 40 years we all are going to die. We need to stop making more cars and factorys. Example every family have 3 or more cars. Some of them have 2 cars. Two cars is ok but more is bad. I am going to colleg and my teacher say that we need to save our world and if we save our world we are not going to die. I thing evreybody want to live. Who have a idea email me. My email addess is arman0130@yahoo.com. Please email me so we can save our world. Good luck to everybody and me.

I'm not planning on waiting up for it, as it's several billion years in the future. I imagine that by that time, humanity will not only have figured out some place to go but have gone there.

Well for one, none of us or our desendants will be around when that happens, and space travel/colonizing other plants/space ports will probably be pretty common, so the human race doesnt die out.

That ain't happening for another 5 billion years, so I don't think about it much.
Especially since life as we know it will be extinct long before that.
