Measured timeline

📍 The outcome

Scientists used a new model to calculate that the last plants on Earth will die in nearly 2 billion years. A study published in the Geophysical Research Journal suggested this timeline, noting that oceans would evaporate as the sun forces the planet out of the life zone.

Scientists have developed a model to calculate the timeframe for when the last plants on Earth will die. The research focuses on the planet's habitable lifespan and the conditions necessary for life to persist.

Coverage from The Times of India and CPG Click Oil and Gas emphasizes specific timelines, noting a range of 1.8 billion to 2 billion years before the Sun forces the planet out of the life zone and oceans evaporate. ScienceAlert and Yahoo also report on the calculations regarding the end of plant life.

Future developments depend on the model's findings concerning the evaporation of oceans and the planet's exit from the habitable zone.
