How long does it take for a sun to burn out?

As you probably know, Suns are massive stars that run on multiple types of gases to produce flames that make both light and heat. To answer your question, the sun has a large abundance of gases that burn on the surface. For about the next six billion years, the sun should keep shining the way it does today and has been doing for the last billion years. After this, the sun will start to run out of gases, causing it to start to die, causing it starting to get brighter, but cooler. Soon, the gases will cause the sun to inflate and swell rapidly, ebventually growing onto Mercury and Venus and growing closer to Earth, causing massive solar flares to wipe out all life on the planet, and eventually turning it into a fiery mass. But don't worry. You'll be long gone by then. :)
