Earth Age: 4.54 billion years
According to scientists, the earth formed about 4.54 billion years ago, almost the same period as the sun and the rest of the solar system. This number is determined on the basis of radiometric measures of isotopes in old rocks and meteorites, as well as on the age of the moon.
However, life on earth did not appear immediately. The first simple life forms, such as bacteria, appeared only 3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago, while modern humans (Homo sapiens) appeared only about 300,000 years ago – a simple wink in the long history of this planet.
How long will humans survive?
This is a question to which science cannot answer with certainty, but many factors affect the long -term survival of humans:
1. Climate change and environment
If humans do not control global warming, loss of biodiversity and environmental pollution, the planet could become unfit for human life in the next hundred to several thousand years.
2. Natural disasters and cosmic disasters
Threats from asteroids, supervolcans or cosmic radiations are natural factors that can cause massive extinction – a phenomenon that arrived at dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Although the probability is low, the consequences if this happens will be extremely serious.
3. Technology and adaptability
Humans today have amazing technological advances, from energy to energy through spatial exploration. Some scientists believe that if we are building sustainable resources and migrons to other planets, humans could survive additional millions of years, or even survive life on earth.
Conclusion
The earth is an ancient planet and humans have only existed for a very short time. Even if we do not know with certainty how long we have to live on this planet, environmental protection, the fight against climate change and investment in lasting technologies are essential to prolong the survival of humanity in the future.
