Our Sun is a stable star but, that's not the way things will always be. In about 6.4 billion years from now the Sun's Hydrogen fuel supply will run low. Then the Sun will swell up and will become about 100,000,000 miles across during it's Red Giant phase. It will become about the size of were earths orbit is and devour it. Mercury, Venus, and Earth will have been engulfed in the Sun. The outer planets will live on. After the red giant phase, the sun will explode in a supernova and all that will be left is the core. The outer planets warmed up during the red giant phase and will continue to orbit the white dwarf core.

The sun can continue to exist in its present stable state for about another .?
5.5 billion years
Tropical zones have stable year-round temperatures because of their?
Tropical zones have stable year-round temperatures because of their close proximity to the equator where they constantly experience the sun overhead.
What keeps all the planets in place so the don't float away?
The planets are in stable orbits in which the force of gravity between the Sun and the planet causes it to accelerate towards the Sun at a rate that is counteracted by the planet's forward movement in its orbit. Newton showed that this is a stable condition that isn't expected to change unless there are impacts from massive external objects.
Will the sun full out of the sky?
No. The sun is far larger and far more massive than Earth. Earth is being pulled toward the sun by the sun's gravity but is moving fast enough that rather than falling into the sun, it orbits around it. Earth's orbit is stable. In about 5 billion years the sun will run out of hydrogen in its core and expand into a red giant and will probably consume Earth.
Can you List two features for each planet from the sun?
Mercury- no moons, really hot Venus-twin planet to earth, no moons Earth- water, stable ground Mars- red planet, craters Jupiter- surface not stable, ? Sateron- no stable ground, most noticeable rings Uranous- Neptune- Pluto- REALLY Cold, solid ground
How longer should the sun remain in its stable stage?
The sun is expect to remain stable for another three billion years.
For the sun to be stable the inward and outward forces within the sun must be?
In equilibrium.
What is the shape of a stable planet that orbits around a star like the sun?
Sun IS a STAr
What has kept the earth's climate stable in the past?
the sun
What is a non example of stable science?
Which way does the sun rises
Which force makes earth and sun stable in its orbit?
The force of gravity helps to keep the Earth and Sun stable in its rotation. Without gravity, the planets would float around knocking into each other or would travel too close to the sun.
What is the impact of the sun ditsance?
The sun distance ensures a stable temperature on the earth, it also affects the length of our years.
Identify what kind of a star is the sun?
Our sun is a main sequence star - in the middle of it's life and relatively stable.
How much longer should the sun remain in its stage?
The sun is expect to remain stable for another three billion years.
Will Pluto ever float away?
No. Pluto has a stable orbit around the sun.
When will Eros and Mars collide?
They are not expected to collide, each has a stable orbit around the Sun.
Is the earth moving closer to the sun every hundred years?
No. Earth's orbit is stable.
