    More fun facts: When the stars are right In approximately 5 billion years, the sun will awake from his slumber enter in his red giant phase and devour engulf Mercury, Venus, and possibly also the Earth.

      And some previous sun(s), after growing into even larger red giants, created most of the matter you see around you in an act of such violence it likely destroyed any planets they hadn’t devoured.

      And some of what it created still contains enough rage to make the most violent creations humanity had made–up to the point when we realized we could use that to power an even more violent creation: a brief and miniature version of our slumbering sun.

      It will eat Earth and at some point the heat will likely make all the planets and their satellites unsuitable for humans. There might be a possibility for life on Pluto though.

          Well not really, it’s not like Pluto’s mass(1/6 of our Moon) will grow much in that time. But there are evidences of water on Pluto and even suggestions of underground liquid water oceans(due to it’s core’s heat) so it may be suitable for life even now.
