The sun is around 4.5 billion years old but in about 4.5 billion years, it will end its life cycle and expand burning up the planets. As the sun expands, the oceans will begin to boil from the massive heat and eventually swallow this planet. Eventually, the sun will itself be destroyed and that will be end of our solar system.
My theory is that if there are still intelligent beings here on the this planet, the last centuries will be very stressful and emotionally sad. Perhaps there will be technology where people can escape to another habitable solar system but there will be skeptics who will refuse to leave. In the final century, saying goodbye to the Earth will be painfully sad as many people get ready to move on to another solar system.
This reminds me of stories of immigrants leaving their homelands in Europe in the 1800s to the new world in America and how painfull it was to leave their land and families. My feeling is that there will be great sadness, saying goodbye to this wonderul planet. Change is not always easy and it can be heartbreaking but sometimes there is no choice and we can only hope for happiness in the future.
