Whatever you burn on Earth goes out eventually so why does the sun burn for ever?
Your basic instinct and insight are good; things that burn eventually run out of fuel. For this reason, the sun will in fact NOT burn forever. It will 'burn' for another 5 billion years or so. But the sun does not burn in the same way that wood burns in your fireplace. The sun produces its energy on the atomic level by way of the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. See link for more.
Will the sun and if so how and when?
Will the sun explode? No. Will it burn out? Yes. It will gradually expand into a red giant, in about 4 billion years, then collapse to a bright hot white dwarf star, where it will burn another few billion years, gradually fading to black.
Will sun burn out?
Yes, eventually the sun will burn out. Current estimates suggest this won't happen for another 5 billion years. When it does, the sun will swell into a red giant, consuming Mercury and Venus, before eventually shrinking into a white dwarf.
Will the sun burn out any time soon?
No, the sun has about 5 billion years left before it exhausts its nuclear fuel and swells as a red giant, likely engulfing Mercury and Venus in the process. After that, it will shed its outer layers and become a white dwarf. The sun will not "burn out" in the conventional sense.
