Hence, even if the Sun does not swallow the Earth, the planet may be left moonless. [101] 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.
In Christian belief, the Last Judgement is an apocalyptic event where God makes a final judgement of all people on Earth. Predictions of apocalyptic events that will result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Common Era.

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.
Multi-planet alignments did occur in both 2000 and 2010, each with no ill result for the Earth. [118] Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, being larger than all other planets combined. When Jupiter is near opposition , the difference in gravitational force that the Earth experiences is less than 1% of the force that the Earth ...
Earth orbits the Sun, making Earth the third-closest planet to the Sun and part of the inner Solar System. Earth's average orbital distance is about 150 million km (93 million mi), which is the basis for the astronomical unit (AU) and is equal to roughly 8.3 light minutes or 380 times Earth's distance to the Moon.
The Late Great Planet Earth is a treatment of dispensational premillennialism.As such, it compared end-time prophecies in the Bible with then-current events in an attempt to predict future scenarios resulting in the rapture of believers before the Great Tribulation and Second Coming of Jesus to establish his thousand-year (i.e. millennial) kingdom on Earth.
A darkened planet circling the feeble remnant of a burned-out star about 6,000 light-years from Earth shows what our own solar system will look like at the end. A darkened planet circling the ...
If humans were extinct, Earth would be midway through a stable warm period with the next ice age due in 10,000 years, but if humans survived and did impact their planet, the greenhouse gas emissions would disrupt this natural cycle. [17] 10,000 – 1 million [note 1] The red supergiant stars Betelgeuse and Antares will likely have exploded as ...
