When the Sun expand into the red giant and become a white dwarf do you think it will be the end of the Earth?

NO.
Another viewpoint: It probably will be the end of the Earth as we know it.
It's likely that the Sun will expand until the Earth is inside it.

What causes a giant star to turn into a white dwarf?
A giant star would experience a supernova explosion, in order to become a white dwarf.
What will happen if the sun disappeared?
In about 5 billion years the sun will run out of hydrogen fuel, eventually expanding to become a Red Giant, this is the 2nd to last face to a star's death. It's diameter will become large enouh to emcompass Venus. The Earth's atmosphere will not survive this and will be stripped by fire, and water will boil and evaporate. Life will no longer from this moment ever survive on Earth again. After this, the sun will become a 'white dwarf' and compress to the size of earth and be brighter. Eventually it will burn out.
When the sun dies what kind of star will it be?
It will first become a red giant, then turn into a white dwarf and in billions and billions of years it will become a black dwarf.
What is the Conclusion of solar system?
Actually there is a conclusion, (anything has a conclusion) The sun expand after 5 billion years, it will turn into red giant, it will reach earth. It will turn into a planetary nebula, it reaches Neptune, and it will turn into a dwarf star.
Will our sun become a black hole or a neutron star?
Neither. Our Sun will turn into a red giant, and then cool to become a white dwarf.
What is the final stage in the sun's life cycle?
It will expand and become a red giant
If star having the same mass of Earth's Sun is likely to become a?
Red giant - then a white dwarf.
Does the earth live forever?
No. In a few billion years the sun will expand and become a red giant and will probably consume Earth.
Why is the sun described as a star of average?
It's really a small to medium star. Later it will expand to become a red giant then contract to a white dwarf.
Will the sun expand?
It will indeed expand to a red giant in about 5 billion years. It will then subsequently collapse to a white then brown dwarf star.
What will it be called when the sun explodes?
The Sun will not explode [See related question], the Sun will just expand into a red giant and then after expending it's outer layers become a white dwarf.
What stage will the Sun likely enter after the main sequence stage?
our Sun will eventually become a red giant and a white dwarf.... Once the sun finishes fusing Hydrogen into helium it will start fusing helium. It will need more pressure to do this so it will expand. But it will cool a little as it expands. It all has to do with equilibrium. Our sun will become a red giant and expand to about half way between earth's orbit and mars' orbit. This will not happen for another 5 billion years or so supposedly since as far as we can tell stars like our sun stay in the main sequence for 10 billion years give or take and our sun is about 5 billion years old or so.

The Sun will eventually end up as a what?
Earth's sun is currently a main sequence star which has a small mass. Eventually it will expand into Red Giant star once the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium gas. After the Red Giant phase, the star throws off its outer layers and then becomes a planetary nebula. A sun-like star will either become a white dwarf or black dwarf following the planetary nebula.
What will the sun become?
Long before the sun dies, its size will expand and it will become a red giant star. then after thousands of years,is will shrink, becoming a white dwarf. In the end, it will change to become a black dwarf, giving off no light or heat.
Can Neptune become a dwarf planet?
No. Neptune is a gas giant planet. There is no way it could be reclassified as a dwarf planet.
