It will expand into a red giant that will engulf the 4 inner planets and reach as far as Jupiter. After a 100 million years it will slowly shrink into white dwarf.

The sun fuses hydrogen atoms into what?
Hydrogen atoms fuse into helium.
When the sun fuses hydrogen forms?
It forms helium. After it runs out of hydrogen, it'll form carbon. As I recall, the sun begins to die at the carbon stage because it's too small to fuse heavier elements.
What will happen to the amounts of hydrogen and helium in the sun over the next billion years?
the hydrogen and helium in the sun will continue to thermonuclear fuse until they end up creating lead, collapsing in on itself because of its immense mass.
How long will th Sun burn hydrogen?
The Sun will continue to fuse hydrogen for another 10 billion years.
Where in the sun does hydrogen fuse into helium?
at or near the core
What forms when the sun fuses hydrogen?
It forms helium. After it runs out of hydrogen, it'll form carbon. As I recall, the sun begins to die at the carbon stage because it's too small to fuse heavier elements.
The what of atoms powers the sun and other stars?
The sun and other stars are powered by fusing hydrogen into helium in their first stage of life. Then as they get older the hydrogen runs out and the fuse helium and on up onto iron. Heavier elements come from novas and super novas.
What will happen when the sun uses up all its hydrogen?
When the sun uses up all its hydrogen, it will start using helium that is converted from hydrogen.
What forms when the sun fuses?
It forms helium. After it runs out of hydrogen, it'll form carbon. As I recall, the sun begins to die at the carbon stage because it's too small to fuse heavier elements.
The sun will go into its dying stages when what runs out?
The sun produce energy during the nuclear fusion process when hydrogen atoms are converted into helium atoms in the core of the sun. When the sun runs out of hydrogen it will "start to die".
What chemical is inside the sun?
Hydrogen is in the sun, when the hydrogen atoms fuse (join together) they make helium in stars. this gives out lots of heat and light.
When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun nuclei of what are produced?
Helium is produced
