Not completely true. :)

As the sun ages (hydrogen converted to helium thru fusion) the hydrostatic equilibrium will change causing it to morph into a red giant destroying the earth - BTW horribly simplified.

Thus the earth is truly doomed (~ 5 billion years from now).

Fun fact: the sun does not have enough mass to create either a nova or supernova so its final state will be a burned out white dwarf star (brown/black dwarf)
