How Long Before The Sun Hits The Earth?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The sun will not 'hit' the earth as such, but it is thought that eventually it will become a 'red giant' which means its outer layers will cool and expand and probably encompass Earth's orbit, which would be the end of our planet.

    Thankfully, this is not expected to occur for about another 5 billion years !
