How do astronomers know that the sun has a finite lifespan?

For a start, the Sun emits energy; the laws of Thermodynamics state that that can't go on forever. Beyond that, astronomers know quite a deal about what goes on in stars such as the Sun; specifically, hydrogen is converted to helium, in a process known as fusion. After a while (a few billion years in a star with the mass of our Sun), the star will run out of its fuel (the hydrogen). Helium can then be converted to heavier elements, but this doesn't last forever, either.

How do astronomers think the sun started?

Astronomers think the Sun started out like all other stars: A star birth nebula, a massive stellar gas cloud that growing stars absorb with their gravity to fuel the nuclear reaction in their cores. So basically, the Sun is a giant swirling ball of gas, but more specifically, the Sun is a star in the classification of a Yellow Dwarf, which really isn't that large of a star, as a matter of fact, compared to VY Canis Majoris, a star in the classification of a red giant, and the biggest known star in the universe, the Sun is approximately 2,800 times SMALLER than VY Canis Majoris.
