The End Of The World Quiz

Explanation
Which one?

Explanation
The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012. The Mayan civilization, known for their advanced calendar system, believed that a major cycle in their calendar would come to an end in 2012, leading to widespread speculation and fear of an apocalyptic event. While their prediction did not come true, it gained significant attention and became a popular topic of discussion in the years leading up to 2012.

Explanation
The correct answer is Apophis Asteroid. Apophis is a near-Earth asteroid that gained attention in 2004 due to initial calculations that suggested a small possibility of it colliding with Earth in 2029. However, subsequent observations ruled out the possibility of a collision in 2029. There is still a very small chance of a collision in 2036, but it is considered highly unlikely. Apophis is approximately 370 meters in diameter and poses no immediate threat to Earth.

Explanation
The sun will burn out in approximately 4.9 billion years. This is because the sun is a main sequence star, and it is currently in the middle of its lifespan. It is estimated that the sun will continue to burn for another 5 billion years before it exhausts its hydrogen fuel and starts to expand into a red giant. Eventually, it will shed its outer layers and become a white dwarf.
