The Earth has another 850 million years before the oceans evaporate completely and enter a period of destruction.

It seems that the oceans on the earth's surface will soon disappear despite warnings about the effects of global warming.

Instead, experts predict that the Earth will last for a long time, after new research results have re-evaluated the scope of the Goldilock region .

The Goldilock region is defined as the distance between the central star and the planet, allowing the planet to nourish life.

The Nature report shows that it took 850 million years before the earth slipped into the death zone, so close to the sun, that water evaporated from the surface, not another 150 million years according to the data. head to the Goldilock area.

Team leader Jeremy Leconte of the University of Toronto (Canada) said that with the new discovery, the ability to find planets with life also increased.

Venus, with an average surface temperature of 462 degrees Celsius, also had water in the early days of the solar system.
