The Future of Life in the Solar System

The video explores the future of the solar system as the Sun expands into a red giant in about 5 billion years. This expansion will shift the habitable zone outward, potentially making moons like Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, and Titan suitable for life. Europa's ocean could melt, providing energy sources for life, while Titan might host methane-based life. These new habitable zones will last for a limited time, offering a brief window for life to evolve. The video concludes with a call to support SciShow Space on Patreon.

What will happen to the Earth in about 5 billion years?

How will the habitable zone change as the Sun increases its energy output?

What are the potential energy sources for life on Europa as it thaws?

What makes Titan a unique candidate for hosting life?
