Measured timeline
📍 How it ended
Scientists predicted that life and vegetation on Earth could persist for around 1.8 to 1.9 billion years. One calculation suggested this timeline could be extended if the planet's orbit were modified.

A recent study has proposed that life on Earth could persist for approximately 1.8 billion more years. The research indicates that the planet's biosphere might remain green for an extended period, challenging earlier predictions about the timeline for Earth's habitability. Coverage from inkorr.com, Astrobiology Web, La Brújula Verde, New Atlas, and Live Science emphasizes the potential longevity of Earth's biosphere.
The reports highlight the study's findings and the implications for understanding the planet's future habitability. La Brújula Verde notes that modifying Earth's orbit could further extend this timeline. The next steps involve further research to validate these findings and explore the feasibility of modifying Earth's orbit.
Scientists will also investigate the conditions that could sustain life over such an extended period.
