The end of planet Earth refers to when the Earth is theorized to either completely cease to exist as a planet or become uninhabitable for life.
According to astronomers, the Earth should last for at least five billion more years before the sun becomes a red giant. Due to the sun's loss of mass the Earth would escape to an orbit at a further distance than its current orbit. The immense heat however would likely boil off the oceans and turn the Earth into a barren wasteland looking like Mars does. If the Earth survived this event, the sun would further evolve into a white dwarf and provide too little heat to sustain life.
Others say the atmosphere will lose its water vapor to space within 1.1 billion years because the sun will become about 10% hotter, and that the oceans will evaporate within 3.5 billion years when the sun is 40% hotter. In 3.5 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy may collide with ours and may wipe out some solar systems.

In 5 billion years, the sun will turn into a red giant. This may destroy the earth, depending on how big the sun gets. In 20 billion years, dark energy will rip apart all matter including all stars and planets everywhere.

Well, according to Walking Man's Theory of Universal Life, it will end the instant I die.
However, other people with a less healthy ego then mine suggest at least 5 billion years and possibably as much as 10 billion.
I would say that is long enough for me to finance that new car.

Nobody knows for sure and you shouldn't worry about it. Why spend everyday of your life counting down until the end of the world? Worry on the present and what we can do to prevent the end of the world. Like, solutions for global warming and such

1) Probably in 5 billion years as astronomers think
2) Most likely before that due to some asteroid or next war in which we use atom bombs or an unfortunate pandemic

Who knows? No one. It could be today, it could be tomorrow, or in a million years. By then, you would already be gone anyway. Just live life to the fullest and be thankful you wake up every morning.
