We know that presently Sun is 4.5 billion years into its main sequence. It has another 5 billion years before it enters the Red Giant phase. We also know that Sun's luminosity increases by 10% every billion years during the main sequence. I am interested in finding the temperature rise as we approach the end of main sequence. I got two different values for temperature on Earth.



Wikipedia entry says that temperature on Earth would be 422 k in 2.8 billion years. However, if we use the formula for effective temperature as discussed in this answer
https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/a/4274/15299 and L = 1.8 then, the temperature on Earth would be 330K. Also in this book, the author does the same calculations on page 255.

Answers will be different because they must be tied to a model of solar evolution, and all models are a bit different.



So to answer your question we have to select a model. A pretty standard and trusted one, is the one used in the paper Stellar evolution models for Z = 0.0001 to 0.03. Where Z stands for the metalicity of the star, that for the Sun they indicate would be 0.0188.



In figure 2, they show the trajectory of a star like the sun in the H-R diagram (look for the line labeled "1.0").



enter image description here



The data output of this model is available at the VizieR catalog. I just downloaded the data for starts of one solar mass and Z=0.02 (like the Sun), and computed the effective temperature of Earth using the formula in the linked question



$Large fracTT_0=left(fracLL_0right)^frac14$



Using a current effective temperature $T_0$ of -19°C (you will find values between -18 and -21°C), we get that the plot pf Luminosity and temperature versus time looks like this



enter image description here



And given that you are interested in specific values here is some tabulated data including also the solar radius. Note that most of these points are linear interpolations of the original data, that had only six points in this age range.



Age Radius Lumin. Temperature
[Billion [solar [Solar [°C]
years] radius] Lumin.]
0.00 0.89 0.7 -41.4
0.25 0.90 0.7 -40.2

7.50 1.15 1.3 -2.8
7.75 1.16 1.3 -1.4
8.00 1.17 1.3 0.0
8.25 1.18 1.4 1.4
8.50 1.19 1.4 2.9
8.75 1.20 1.4 4.3
9.00 1.21 1.4 5.7
9.25 1.22 1.5 7.2
9.50 1.26 1.5 9.2
9.75 1.32 1.6 11.9
10.00 1.38 1.6 14.7
10.25 1.44 1.7 17.5
10.50 1.51 1.8 20.3
10.75 1.58 1.8 23.1
11.00 1.66 1.9 25.9
11.25 1.74 2.0 28.8
11.50 1.82 2.1 31.7
11.75 1.90 2.2 34.7
12.00 2.40 3.1 65.0
12.25 4.08 7.8 151.9
12.50 6.94 19.6 261.2
12.75 11.68 57.8 427.2


Note that you can only know the effective temperature, the actual temperature will depend on the strength of the greenhouse effect, and modeling that is a whole new problem with huge uncertainties.



According to this model, the terminal age main sequence of the Sun would be 9.38 Billion years, and according to the data above, the effective temperature then would be 8.2 °C (281 K), that's 27.2 °C hotter than today.

    I'm doubt anyone have dare to model greenhouse effect in multi-billion years timescale. Or at least I'm not aware of such research.

Note that you can only know the effective temperature, the actual temperature will depend on the strength of the greenhouse effect, and modeling that is a whole new problem with huge uncertainties.



According to this model, the terminal age main sequence of the Sun would be 9.38 Billion years, and according to the data above, the effective temperature then would be 8.2 °C (281 K), that's 27.2 °C hotter than today.

    I'm doubt anyone have dare to model greenhouse effect in multi-billion years timescale. Or at least I'm not aware of such research. I don't know why exactly do you need this number, but I think you are better off, figuring our at what temperature using normal green house effects, a runaway greenhouse effect would be inevitable.

Answers will be different because they must be tied to a model of solar evolution, and all models are a bit different.



So to answer your question we have to select a model. A pretty standard and trusted one, is the one used in the paper Stellar evolution models for Z = 0.0001 to 0.03. Where Z stands for the metalicity of the star, that for the Sun they indicate would be 0.0188.



In figure 2, they show the trajectory of a star like the sun in the H-R diagram (look for the line labeled "1.0").



enter image description here



The data output of this model is available at the VizieR catalog. I just downloaded the data for starts of one solar mass and Z=0.02 (like the Sun), and computed the effective temperature of Earth using the formula in the linked question



$Large fracTT_0=left(fracLL_0right)^frac14$



Using a current effective temperature $T_0$ of -19°C (you will find values between -18 and -21°C), we get that the plot pf Luminosity and temperature versus time looks like this



enter image description here



And given that you are interested in specific values here is some tabulated data including also the solar radius. Note that most of these points are linear interpolations of the original data, that had only six points in this age range.
