After the Sun leaves the main sequence (By running out of fuseable hydrogen) it will become an asymptotic red giant. After that, when it runs of of all fuel, stellar winds will blow away the Sun's envelope into a protoplanetary nebula (and eventually a planetary nebula) with a white dwarf in the middle, which will slowly cool to background temperature over ten quadrillion years.

How long does it take for a star like the Sun to evolve from the main sequence to the top of the red giant branch?

It takes a star like the Sun roughly 5 billion years to evolve from the main sequence to the top of the red giant branch. This phase marks the latter part of a star's life cycle before it transitions into a white dwarf.


What inevitably forces a star like the Sun to evolve away from being a main sequence star?

The main factor that causes a star like the Sun to evolve away from being a main sequence star is the depletion of hydrogen fuel in its core. As the hydrogen fuel is used up, the core contracts and heats up, leading to the outward expansion of the star's outer layers. This expansion and change in structure lead the star to evolve into a red giant.


Is the sun a star or a comet?

The Sun is a yellow, main sequence star.


Will the K-type Epsilon Eridani star eventually evolve into a G-type main sequence star like the Sun?

No. A star's class on the main sequence is ultimately predetermined by its mass, so a star cannot change its position on the main sequence. Epsilon Eridani is about 82% the mass of the sun, which limits it to a lower rate of fusion and thus a lower temperature and luminosity than a G-type star like the sun. Epsilon Eridani's only change in class will come when it leaves the main sequence to become a red giant.
