What is the future of our solar system?
Question:
Answer:
I think that most people that has or has had to wonder that same thing but you know I think that no matter how deep we look into things like that of what is out there that we don't know of..so I think that there is somethings you just dont need or want to know about. there is no point in look that hard into something b/c I don't think that we'll ever find that out until that day that comes.

By gravity law, the end of each such system shoud be the absorbtion of all planets into the central star;
Exception: the rationals on a planet find the way and the energy to move their planet into an other gravitational field (this is the subject of many SF books)
Don't fear there are some billions years, not tomorrow!

Don't ask the impossible to answer question
The future of our solar system depends on the conditions our Sun will have after it dies. As it dies, our Sun will pass through several cycles of shrinkage and enlargement, with a loss of its mass associated with each cycle. In its final state (a "white dwarf" star) the Sun will have lost about 45% of its original mass. Such a loss in mass means that the Sun will have less gravitational force exerted on the planets of our Solar System. Consequently the orbits of surviving Solar System planets will become much larger.

Our Sun is a 5 billion year old star, and is considered to be in the middle phase of its existance. A couple billion years from today, our Sun will run out of hydrogen and the star will begin to contract. This contraction will cause energy in the core to blaze even hotter then now. This new energy will force the outer layers away from the core and our Sun will become a Red Giant. Its size will grow about one hundred times it's present size and it will burn 500 times brighter. Our Earth will become a sea of hot, molten lava everywhere. The Sun will then begin to shrink into a white dwarf star. Then the planets will float further and further away from the sun. I suspect once we are in deep in the Orion Arm..., another star with a greater gravity pull will sling shot the planets away from out sun and it will be lonely for our sun..., until it is captured by a black whole which will turn into a super nova when it reaches it's critical mass..., then another version of the sun would come about... By then..., the planets will be long gone..., so sad...
