When will the planet Earth ends?

the guys talking about our sun in 5 billion years are correct. by then we should figure out a way to move to a new star system.

Well, I don't think I can convince you; you're apparently believing false information...but rest comfortable in knowing that the atmosphere is not deteriorating and nothing drastic is going to happen…during your lifetime.\n\nThat being said, eventually, the Earth (and its atmosphere) will wind down to a point where it won't sustain human life. That's the natural process, but we won't see it for several billions of years.\n\nHumans couldn't destroy the atmosphere or planet if we tried...even with nuclear weapons.\n\nOther people may answer with differing opinions, but their "evidence" is based on false science and anecdotal evidence and is designed to be alarmist. There's no rest for the weary!

No.  The Bible says at the end of time, the Earth will be as it was in the days of Noah, when people's minds thought of evil continually.  So yeah, things are only getting worse.  Hopefully, Jesus won't wait too much longer.

There is a general concept that, 'Anything which has a beginning surely has an end'.\n\nHere, i find a small ambiguity in your question. Now, world is something different and earth is something different.World is a state or scene of human existence.\n\n If this is what you meant then surely it has an end. Then question under discussion is how and when. The various probability are as follows :\n\n  -- Short term probability #1: It is thought that the extinction of dinosaurs was caused by the collition with an comet( or asteriod i am not so sure) called apocalypse. Now the collision with a comet is quite a very uncertain event, but isn't impossible. So, if such an event happens, then the life, that is, your world will end for once, and it may be that there isn't a regeneratioin of life after that, though the earth may exist.\n\n  -- Short term probability #2: And the comes, as you have mantioned, the pollution. It is doomed to increase the global temperature to such a level that the polar ice may melt submerge the world. This is called glaceriasion. But though this will eliminate the weaker species, human then, but other forms of life and earth will surely exist.\n\n -- Long term probability #1 : And it is felt that innitially the earth was smaller and all thee  continents were together to form a super continent called Pangeae. Now as the continents are seperate, so it is concluded that the earth is expanding. Just as a bolloon when inflated, expandes to a level and finally bursts, so will earth. This will destroy both life, if it exists then ion earth, and surely our earth. But i have little faith in this philosophy.\n\n -- Long term sureshort event : After about 15hundred million years, our sun will partially exhaus its fuel and expand to a red giant. And this sun will consume the inner planets and the earth. This will seize the existence of earth.\n\n But it must be noted that, it is not like the earth may exist or collapse. Its only that it will seize its existence, as matter has neither a begionning and nor a end. So matter makingf earth will exist, even if earth collapses, that is , seizes to be earth. Though these evenbts are bound to happen, but only 15millionth of your generation may be able to witness the longterm ends, if human generation survives till then. The short term may occur today tomorrow, or not.\n But life on earth is very likely to end only if earth is to end, as life as the property to evolve and adapt.

The world will end with the explosion of the Sun, I believe 400 mill. years (approx)?

If this happen?\nNo more people alive, and no more earth planet survive -\nBye, bye. . .

Yup. The latest will be 5 billion years from now, give or take a few hundred thousand. By then the sun will either:\n\n1) engulf our planet (very unlikely, but will come close enough to vaporize our planet)\n2) Die and not engulf or vaporize our planet and within days our atmosphere will freeze and fall to the earth in the form of ice.

The world for most people will end within 80 years.

The world will not end in peace nor will it end in war. It will end in apathy and indifference which will create the period of homeostasis necessary to facilitate the end of the Earth through the course of 'nature', or the end of fuel for our Sun. Sometime around 5 billion years from now. Of course, human life will be completely different at that point.\n\nThere is, within the most evil of us, the inherit ability to trust that destroying all life (or risking it) is the least effective way to win on any side of a conflict. It's just plain stupid to risk using a weapon or war to the point that it may destroy us all. The idea was threatening enough -- "the Cold War."

Armageddon will end it

No one knows. Earth has gone through many climatic cycles. We could be headed for another ice age.

By then most people will agree that mankind will not be around. That is not the pessimists but now the optimists too. The question is how will this eventual demise arise? That will determine what the state of of the Earth will be in 1000 years. If the 'War on Terror' ends in nuclear holocaust then the Earth will be a barren land much similar to Mars is today. If global warming catches up with us then we will be in the middle of another Ice Age.\nThe alternative is that we humans, against all odds, do survive. In that case we will be living in a civilisation that is either as close to total anarchy as we can get without destroying ourselves or we will be in totalitarian state of control. Either way the future was stolen from our hands a long long time ago.

hmm i believe in 2050 or 2020, due to our slow destruction of the Earths atmosphere.

Of course, we're heading to the end of the world...in a few billion years, when the sun expands and consumes our planet along with the other inner planets. All life on this planet will be extinguished well before that happens. However, human beings may very well extinguish their civilization and themselves sometime in the next few centuries. The problem is not the science. Of course, many well-respected scientists have been speaking out on the problems humanity faces. While some, like James Lovelock, may think we have already passed the point of no return; other scientists argue that we are still within a narrow window of opportunity to halt and perhaps even reverse the destructive policies and technologies that are presently damaging the environment. \n\nThe real problem is humanity, its cultures, and its governments. Most people around the world still hold a world view based upon ideas that were held to be valid back in the Stone Age... many people even believe that some supernatural agency will rescue humanity and clean up the world as soon as things have gotten as bad as they can get. Meanwhile, most governments base their decisions upon corporate interests and upon national interests... thus more global problems and their solutions are pretty much ignored. Short-sightedness is the overwhelming curse of humanity and its institutions.\n\nLife will continue in one form or another on this planet, whether there are human beings there to observe said life or not.

yes it will.scientifically the world will come to an end due to the great heat of sun which will burn it.but that will be millions of years from now.the main reason for this is the human activity(mainly from burning fossil fuels)which lead to global warming and an increase in the hole of the ozone layer.The other religious reason for the end of the world is for the judgement day to come so that people go to either heaven or hell.

Yes.  The sun will blow up in about 4.5 billion years, taking the earth with it.  Odds are humans will have been gone long before that though.

I hope that in 5 billion years. We have somewhat evolved beyond this planet. Besides we won't have enough land or fossil fuels to last the next five hundred. I can hardly imagine five billion years from now.
