Future of the Solar System

The future of the solar system is hard to predict, but scientists can make some guesses based on how the universe works. The sun will eventually get bigger, and seem brighter than it does now. The planets will continue to orbit around the sun and you'll still have the same planets, just at different distances from the sun. Eventually, the sun will become a red giant and it will get so big that it will swallow up some of the planets, like Venus and Earth. Eventually, the sun will turn into a white dwarf and our solar system will be gone.
