      Hopefully still spinning around the Sun! There’s nothing that should move the Earth out of its orbit any time before the Sun explodes in around 5 billion years, so the Earth won’t move too far between now and then!

      By then, humans might have left Earth and gone on to live on other planets, which is exciting. I just hope we take good enough care of our planet in our lifetimes that global warming doesn’t become a huge problem in 1000 years and turn Earth into a stuffy acid-rain planet like Venus!
