When the Sun runs out of fuel, the Earth would not receive any energy; life could no longer exist on Earth. This isn't likely to happen though: long before that happens, the Sun will get so hot that it will kill any life on Earth. The Sun will also become very large, and it may or may not engulf (swallow) the Earth.

∙ 12y agoIt is expected that the sun will experience a depletion of hydrogen, leading to its expansion into a red giant, in about three billion years from now. Bear in mind that stellar evolution is a complicated process, stars don't just run out of gas and expire, like a car that is out of gasoline. As the fusion of hydrogen to helium proceeds, the core of the store becomes more dense (helium nuclei are much denser than hydrogen nuclei) and the density results in greater gravitational intensity, and as gases become compressed by this, temperature and pressure increases and different types of nucleosynthesis take place, generating energy which can then make the star expand, and many more consequences result, there's a lot going on.

Which progression do astronomers expect our sun to follow as it runs out of fuel?
When the sun runs out of fuel it is expected to turn into a red supergiant engulfing earth. Then it is supposed to shrink into a white dwarf.
What would happen if the sun went to close to earth?
If the sun will be close to earth, earth's temperature will increase. It will be too hot.
How long until a neutron star destroys earth?
This will probably never happen. Earth will most likely be destroyed in about 5 billion years when the sun runs out of hydrogen in its core and expands.
What happen when earth moves in circular path around the sun?
It doesn't. The earth orbits the sun in an elliptical fashion.
What would happen to the Earth's oceans if the earth was closer to the sun?
oceans would dry
What will happen when the sun runs out of fuel?
By that time earth will be no more:c, but just to answer your question, it will eventually become a black dwarf.
What will happen if the sun will lost its fuel?
After the sun runs out of fuel is will become a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
What will happen to earth once the sun uses all its fuel up?
we will die
Which progression do astronomers expect our sun to follow as it runs out of fuel?
When the sun runs out of fuel it is expected to turn into a red supergiant engulfing earth. Then it is supposed to shrink into a white dwarf.
What will the sun turn into when it runs out of fuel or fusion does this mean the end of life on earth?
At first, the sun will soon run out of its primary fuel, hydrogen. This will cause the sun's layers to expand, becoming a red giant. This will likely happen in 5 billion years. While scientists are unsure whether the expanded the sun will engulf the Earth or not, it will likely end life on Earth nonetheless.After it runs out of all fuel, including the heavier elements, it will begin shedding its outer layers and become a planetary nebula. Life on Earth would've almost certainly ceased by then.
After the sun runs out of fuel for fusion this will be the end of life on Earth?
Yes, but it is a long way off
What will happen to the sun when it runs out of fuel for fusion?
first red giant then white dwarf ultimately DEAD
What will happen when earth runs from solar system?
The earth will just float into space, however the Earth can not get out of the solar system because of the sun's gravitational pull.
When exactly does sun set happen?
Sunset happens when the earth turns you far enough so that the line from your eye to the sun runs into the ground.
What will happen first the earth colliding with the sun or the sun running out of fuel?
Easy answer: The Sun's surface will contact Earth before all of it's fuel has been consumed Not so easy: As the Sun runs out of fuel in it's core, it's pressure will reduce and the surface will expand as the Sun starts fusing hydrogen in a shell outside of it's core. The expansion of the surface will expand beyond the present orbit of the Earth. In this scenario, the Sun is still fusing hydrogen when it's surface comes into contact with the Earth, so it still has fuel. So Sun 1 However, research has suggested that as the Sun looses mass, the Earth will slowly increase it's orbit away from the Sun and the two surfaces will never touch. So Earth 1, Sun 1. Yet, even more research has suggested that tidal interactions will draw the Earth into the Sun. So Sun 2, Earth 1. Wait about 5 billions years and we can be sure what happens!!
If the sun runs out of fuel this would be the end of Earth?
Yes. When the sun runs out of hydrogen in its core, rather than simply dying it will expand to many times its original size, becoming a red giant. It will consume the planets Mercury and Venus and probably Earth.
If the sun runs out of fuel of fusion this will be mean the end of life on earth?
this is what the scientist say when the sun reaches the end of it s life it will expand so much that all the planets in the solar system will be incinerated but you ned not worry this wont happen for a few billion years yet
