Whatever you burn on Earth goes out eventually so why does the sun burn for ever?

Your basic instinct and insight are good; things that burn eventually run out of fuel. For this reason, the sun will in fact NOT burn forever. It will 'burn' for another 5 billion years or so. But the sun does not burn in the same way that wood burns in your fireplace. The sun produces its energy on the atomic level by way of the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. See link for more.

Because even the smallest of stars are >1000 times bigger than the Earth, stars would not burn up in our atmosphere, but instead just annihilate everything in it's path, but there's no need to worry the closest star is16.308 light-years from the Solar System, and the universe is actually expanding so no stars are going to annihilate the earth.
