What else can I help you with?
How many years can the sun continue to exist in its present stable state?
Perhaps 7 to 8 billion years.
Is the sun infinite?
No. While for out purposes its supply of power is inexhaustible it will not last forever. Over the course of the next 7 billion years the sun will exhaust the fuel at its core and eventually collapse into a white dwarf.
The sun is what kind of star?
The sun is a G2V star. The sun has lived for 4.3 billion years and believes that will last for more 7 billion years. This belongs to the Population I group of stars that contains large amounts of denser elements.
Will the sun die after 500 billion years?
Yes, eventually, the sun will exhaust its nuclear fuel and expand into a red giant, consuming Mercury and Venus in the process. After this, it will eventually shed its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula, and the remaining core will cool and shrink into a white dwarf. This process is estimated to occur in about 5 billion years.
How long until the sun blows up?
The sun will never blow up. The sun will died in 5 to 7 billion years, but the process will be gradual.
What is the life expentancy of the sun?
The sun is made up of hydrogen, in which it converts to helium, creating energy. The sun is approximately 4. 7 billion years old. Scientists expect the sun to be around for another 5-7 billion years before self combusting.

What is expected to happen to the earth in 5 to 7 billion years from now?
Its not fun to thing about, but either the sun will fry us all sky high, or global warming will have taken controll by then.

When willthe sun explode?
Never. The sun is not massive enough to go supernova. It will die gradually in 5to 7 billion years.
Will the sun die after 500 billion years?
Yes, eventually, the sun will exhaust its nuclear fuel and expand into a red giant, consuming Mercury and Venus in the process. After this, it will eventually shed its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula, and the remaining core will cool and shrink into a white dwarf. This process is estimated to occur in about 5 billion years.
How many hundred million years before your sun dies can terrestial life on earth continue for humans to survive?
There are two hypothesis. One the earth will become uninhabitable because of the rise in temperature in about 7 billion years. Two, As the sun expands the earth may move outward and be spared the burn up only to be thrown off when the sun contracts into a white dwarf. That will happen 11 billion years from now.
Is the sun going to stop shining in 20-30 billion years?
No. The sun will run out of fuel in about 7 billion years, but the white dwarf remnant will continue to shine with leftover heat, albeit much more dimly, for several trillion years.
What would happen to the Earth if the sun swallowed mercury and became much more massive?
Mercury is much smaller than the sun, so the effect would probably be negligible. Plus, that's not likely to happen any time in the next 5 to 7 billion years. At the end of its stellar evolution, when the sun becomes a red giant, the sun will expand out as far as Mars, consuming all the inner planets, including Earth. This will not happen for billions of years.
How long until the sun blows up?
The sun will never blow up. The sun will died in 5 to 7 billion years, but the process will be gradual.
