Every day, the sun generates an impact on the Tierra, both in people and in the environmentthat is why the European Space Agency mentions the importance of the great star with the end of humanity. This entity published how and when the end of the world would be, according to different calculations that were made taking into account solar activity.
The ESA mentions that the sun is currently in main sequence phasean activity in which the core of the star transforms the hydrogen in helium, which causes it to generate more brightness and temperature. Nevertheless, this phase will not last foreverthis activity will continue until the sun is 10,000 or 11,000 million years old, that is, in approximately 5,400 million.
Remember that the solar system It is about 4.6 billion years old, so the celestial body may be in the middle of its cycle. When the main sequence phase ends, the sun will have raised its temperature to the maximum, which will cause the large star to shrink to a white dwarf.
As the sun increases its temperature, the Earth will be affected due to heat, finishing melting the poles and completely evaporating the water until turning the planet into a territory that cannot be inhabited. For the imminent end, the European Space Agency calculates that there are about 8,000 million years to go.

What will happen to the other planets?
When the sun is in its phase of “red giant”will reach Mercury and Venus, consuming them completely, however, according to a study by the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, at the moment that the star reduces its size to the point of becoming a White dwarfothers planets that revolve around them will no longer have a gravitational force that allows them to continue in orbit, so they will move away and remain floating aimlessly as if they were simple asteroids.
However, the scenario is somewhat chaotic, since it is possible that some planets end up colliding with others, generating more asteroids in space, causing a disaster in every sense of the word.
