Stars like our Sun expand as they grow old. As their core runs out of hydrogen and then helium, the core contracts and the outer layers expand, cool, and become less bright. This is a red giant, It will eventually collapse and explode.

Stars like our Sun live for about 10 billion years.

The surface will cool in a few billion years when the sun expands into its "red giant" stage. This will be followed by a collapse into a white dwarf, in which the surface will be much hotter but also much smaller. It's very likely that Earth will be gone before that happens, though, and it will become unlivable sometime in the next couple of billion years at most, so it's not really much of an issue in practice.
