"Alien Worlds and the Sun's Age: Fascinating Insights from NASA"

TL;DR Summary
In 5 billion years, when the Sun becomes a red giant, the fate of Earth is uncertain. However, a nearby planetary system has provided clues about what might happen. Most inner planets are likely to be engulfed, but the outermost planet, similar in orbit to Venus, has a chance of survival. Observations of evolved solar systems and modeling can help predict the fate of our own planet. If Earth can escape engulfment, it may have a longer life orbiting a white dwarf, which could still support habitable conditions.
