The Sun will go supernova and destroy the Milky Way. But fear not, this won't happen for another 5 billion years. Humanity will probably kill itself off before the Sun dies.
first red giant then white dwarf ultimately DEAD
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.
Yes it willburn until it runs out of fusion at its core .
It is postulated that towards the end of its life cycle, the sun will become a red giant, which will consume several of the inner planets, possible including the earth. Even if the diameter of the sun does not expand to the point where the earth is consumed, the increased heat and radiation due to the sun's closer proximity will exterminate life on earth. Eventually, the sun will collapse into a white dwarf.
Hydrogen is the fuel used by the sun, helium is the waste produced by hydrogen use in the fusion process
Yes, but it is a long way off
No, it is hydrogen that is the fuel for fusion in the sun
first red giant then white dwarf ultimately DEAD
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.
no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.
It will turn into a Red Giant and then its corona expands and disintegrates all of the Rocky Planets.
Fusion of hydrogen into helium
The hydrogen in the Sun is fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction.
When the sun starts to burn off all of its fuel, however, it will start to lose its mass. The sun will then start to expand into a red giant. After this phase, the remaining part will shrink and become a white dwarf, which is about Earth's size but a million times denser and very hot. The expanded part of the sun will be released into space, creating a planetary nebula, which is basically an enormous ball of gas.
The sun runs on nuclear fusion. No sun and the Earth is just a cold dead rock.

in about 5billion years, our sun will expand and consume the Earth. this happens because it runs of of hydrogen to turn into helium through neculear fusion.
