According to some British scientists, prior calculations that had the earth being swallowed by the sun as it died, about 7.5 billion years from now. However since the sun will lose mass, gravity will weaken and the earth's orbit will expand, keeping it out of the sun's reach. Of course, it will still get far too hot to support life, but it does give us an extra 200 million years to plan.
