In a sense. The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen into helium in its core. In about 5 billion years that hydrogen will burn out. Over the following two billion years the sun will fuse helium in the core and hydrogen in a surrounding shell before shedding its outer remnants and leaving behind a degenerate remnant called a white dwarf.
