Why does the sun always burn and not go out?
The sun burns because it has suffcient fuel but eventually it will use up all that fuel and die. But that will be in about 4.5 to 5 billion years
What will happen to the sun in 7 billion years?
First in about 5 billion years the sun will run out of fuel in its core and become a red giant as it burns fuel around its core. After that is finished 7 billion years from now the sun will finally die and become a white dwarf.
The sun burns helium to make what other gas?
The sun burns small amounts of helium and when combined with oxygen, the helium makes neon. The sun burns mostly hydrogen.
After lift off the rocket will?
become ebecome easier to accelerate as it burns up fuel. asier to accelerate as it burns up fuel.
What would happen if all of the hydrogen in the sun turned into helium?
The way a star burns it's fuel does in fact change it. The star will die when the fuel becomes too dense depending on the size of the star. For instance, if our sun was full of lead, it would explode, and we would cease to exist.
What element creates the energy that causes the sun to shine?
Hydrogen is the primary fuel source of the Sun. The sun burns hydrogen into helium
What element is needed in order that a material burns?
oxygen, fuel, heat
How more many years will the sun runs out of fuel and burns out?
Billions

How does a sun die?
When it burns out most of the fuel it needs to function and can therefor no longer maintain its own gravitational field.
How can a sun die if it was never a living thing?
It is just a figure of speech. A Star(sun is also a star) dies when its fuel supply runs out (ie) it burns out.
What element makes up about ten percent of the sun?
The sun consist mainly of hydrogen which makes up about 75% and helium about 25%. Helium is produced in the sun's core as it burns hydrogen. There are smaller amounts of other materials, but these are less than 1%. There is no element which makes up about 10% of the sun.
