Nice Comment
Interesting!
Like other stars, the sun is a big gas ball made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. The sun generates energy in its core in a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the sun's extremely high pressure and hot temperature cause hydrogen atoms to come apart and their nuclei (the central cores of the atoms) to fuse or combine. Four hydrogen nuclei fuse to become one helium atom. But the helium atom weighs less than the four nuclei that combined to form it. Some matter is lost during nuclear fusion. The lost matter is emitted into space as radiant energy.
Surprisingly, our solar system might acquire new planets and even a new Earth in more than 5 billion years from now, after the red giant phase and the end of the main sequence of our Sun.
It's not very likely that our species or even our descendants will survive for eons to witness and experience the end of the main sequence of our Sun and see the possible second round of planetary formation. Still, if they do, there will be a non-zero chance that one of the new planets might be similar to our world. Maybe, with future technologies, we might even be able to influence the process of planetary formation and get the new Earth we want.
The question was: Will there be a new Earth after this?
