      The earth will end eventually when the sun runs out of it fuel, but that will be very far in the future (billions of years).

    Great question!
    Yes, the Earth will eventually end, sadly.
    This is because the planet might get absorbed by the sun in billons of years, but by that time life on Earth would have already stopped to exist. The sun’s increasing heat will disrupt the carbon cycle on the Earth leading to drop in oxygen levels and a shift towards methane-rich atmosphere. While the sun’s evolution is the most likely cause of the earth’s end, other events such as ateroid impacts could also end life on Earth.
