Best Answer

Our Sun is about 5 billion years old. In another 5 billion years, we expect the Sun to expand into a red giant star as the hydrogen in the core becomes exhausted and the Sun begins to fuse helium. Helium fusion generates more energy than hydrogen fusion, which will cause the Sun to expand.
