As the sun starts to burn itself out it gets hotter and hotter causing massive heat to hit the earth making it absolutely unhabitable. All of the water on earth would boil and evaporate thousands of years before the sun actually supernovas. Leran your stuff, our sun is not going to supernova. Our star will become a red giant when all of the hydrogen that it uses as "fuel" has ran out, and it will start to "burn" helium. Learn science bud. | ||

Well it will when the sun pretty much engulfs the earth but that won't be for a couple billion years so that doesn't really count. | ||

Just because Sol is going to change soon, it doesn't mean the end of the world. I'd say the first significant change will occur in 10^14 years. But even that won't be the end of world, just the end of the world as we now it. | ||

we won't live that long Nuclear Apocalypse (37) the countries with nuclear arsenals of that size aren't that stupid. nukes are more tools for political posturing nowadays. Asteroid/Meteor Apocalypse (26) very pluasible. but we still probably won't live that long. probably going to have to wait some millions of years for an end of life asteroid/meteor to hit. Supervirus Apocalypse (18) the lucky people with innate immunity will survive and repopulate Environmental Apocalypse (9) don't know what this entails Alien Apocalypse (9) I do believe in alien life. I do not believe we are important enough to spend time and resources on. everything else is silly or bullshit | ||

No need to jump down my throat about it. The process of turning into a red giant is what heats up the earth substantially. | ||

If we are lucky and survive all of that, earth will be consumed by sun 5 billion years from now. But I think that won't concern us (if there is still human race), because earth will be depleted and we will be living on another planet. //edit: I'm hoping for zombie apocalypse, at least I'll have some fun before I die  Life on Earth is cureently estimated to be sustainable for around 500 millions years, after which the atmosphere will be completely impossible to live in and so we will never have to worry about the sun blowing up. Also the logistics of living on another planet are ridiculously complicated which is a major setback :/. I think the end of the world wont come as everyone pictures it. Humans will almost definately end their own lifes through wars when resources come into short supply. Thankfully for me I'm gonna be dead before this happens. So to be honest, I'd rather try to be oblivious to all of it and get on with enjoying my life. I got some Starcraft to play :D | ||

If you mean humanity then how will they extinct? Calling posibilities bullshit doesn't answer the question you know. | ||
