The sun gets bigger and will destroy planets in millions of years. We will probably go extinct.

The sun is currently in its main sequence stage, where it fuses hydrogen into helium. As it ages, it will eventually expand into a red giant, consuming the inner planets, before shedding its outer layers to form a planetary nebula and leaving behind a white dwarf core. This whole process will take billions of years to complete.
