At the end of its life, the Sun will exhaust its nuclear fuel and enter the red giant phase, expanding significantly and engulfing the inner planets, potentially including Earth. After shedding its outer layers, it will leave behind a hot core known as a white dwarf. Over billions of years, this white dwarf will gradually cool and fade into a cold, dark remnant known as a black dwarf, although the universe is not old enough for any black dwarfs to exist yet.
What else can I help you with?
Will the sun become a white dwarf in the next 20 years?
No. It will become a white dwarf in about 7.5 billion years time.
What will the sun turn into when it runs out of fuel for fusion will it end life on earth?
It is postulated that towards the end of its life cycle, the sun will become a red giant, which will consume several of the inner planets, possible including the earth. Even if the diameter of the sun does not expand to the point where the earth is consumed, the increased heat and radiation due to the sun's closer proximity will exterminate life on earth. Eventually, the sun will collapse into a white dwarf.
Will the sun become a supernoval?
No, the Sun will not become a supernova. It is a medium-sized star and will end its life cycle as a red giant before shedding its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf. Supernovae typically occur in much larger stars that can undergo gravitational collapse. Thus, the Sun's fate will be quite different from that of a supernova.
If the Sun turned into a red giant then a white dwarf with a nebula would this mean the end of life on earth?
It would. Current models suggest that Earth will actually be consumed and destroyed by the expanding sun. However, life on Earth will end long before that. The sun is very slowly expanding, which causes it to put out more heat and light. In about 800 million to 1 billion years Earth will become too hot to support liquid water.
What will the sun turn into when it runs out of fuel or fusion does this mean the end of life on earth?
At first, the sun will soon run out of its primary fuel, hydrogen. This will cause the sun's layers to expand, becoming a red giant. This will likely happen in 5 billion years. While scientists are unsure whether the expanded the sun will engulf the Earth or not, it will likely end life on Earth nonetheless.After it runs out of all fuel, including the heavier elements, it will begin shedding its outer layers and become a planetary nebula. Life on Earth would've almost certainly ceased by then.
Will sun become a black hole at the end of life?
no it is to small
What are the similarities between the sun and red giant?
Our Sun will eventually become a Red Giant towards the end of its life.
What are the Similarities between the sun and a red giant?
Our Sun will eventually become a Red Giant towards the end of its life.
what will the sun end its life as?
It will end Its life as a white dwarf
Is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole because?
Our Sun is not nearly massive enough to become a black hole, or even a neutron star. Our Sun will end its life as a white dwarf.
Will the sun become a white dwarf in the next 20 years?
No. It will become a white dwarf in about 7.5 billion years time.
When the sun dies will life end on Earth?
Certainly. The Earth if not destroyed, will become as cold as space. Nothing could survive.

What might be the end point of a star with a mass larger than the sun?
It can become a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass that remains at the end of the star's life.
What will your sun do at the end of its life?
The Sun (Sol) will most likely end as a white dwarf. Or it will face away into a new nebula.
What kind of star the sun will become in the end of the cycle?
red giant
What temperature will the sun have when it gets really old?
As the sun expands late in it's life, it's outer shell will gradually cool and become redder. The sun's surface temperature right now is about 11-12,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It will gradually cool to about 5,600 - 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit toward the end of it's life.
