What about this: quote When our Sun becomes a red giant, its hot atmosphere will reach out to where Earth now orbits. Scientists say the planet will be vaporized unless it's orbit changes, a possibility given the changing gravity of the Sun. end quote How will the gravity change? Is it also casting off matter? I can see the density changing but... Any help? Kevin T. Oh, it will be a serious matter......
