In the Sun's "old age" it will have no more hydrogen atoms to convert into helium atoms, which will cause the Sun to expand into a red giant start. The Sun will increase approximately 16 million times in size, expanding beyond and swallowing Mercury, Venus, Earth and possibly Mars.
As stars age, they will go through different stages depending on their initial mass. Low to medium mass stars (like our Sun) will expand into red giants, shed their outer layers in a planetary nebula, and eventually become a dense white dwarf. High mass stars will undergo supernova explosions, leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole.
As the sun ages is will gradually consume the fuel in its core. When the core is depleted of hydrogen in about 5 billion years fusion will move to a shell around the core and the sun will expand into a red giant, consuming Mercury, Venus, and probably Earth. When the hydrogen shell is depleted the sun will collapse and ignite helium fusion, turning the sun into a horizontal branch star. Fusion of helium will then briefly move to a shell around a carbon-oxygen core as the sun expands once more to form an asymptotic giant. Soon afterward the sun will shed its outer layers, leaving behind a white dwarf as a remnant.
we would all die by freezing to death like we were in one huge feezing cold freezer of freezing

What would happen if the sun suddenly shrank in size?
stars
What would happen to stars if there was no gravity?
If there were no gravity, period, there would be no stars. If gravity ceased to work, there would be a whole lot of violent explosions as the nuclear, mechanical and other forces within the stars popped the stellar balloons, so to speak.
What would happen if constellations disapearred?
If constellations disappeared, stargazing and navigation by the stars would be more challenging. However, the celestial objects themselves would still exist. Constellations are simply patterns that we've formed by connecting stars in the sky, so their disappearance would not affect the stars themselves.
Do New stars form from the material of old stars.?
From the material of old stars.
What would happen if there were no stars or constellations?
If there were no stars or constellations visible in the sky, we would lose a major navigation tool that humans have used for centuries. Additionally, the absence of stars would likely lead to a very different understanding of the universe and our place in it, as stars play a key role in shaping our knowledge of cosmology and the origins of the universe.
What happen to the stars that get old?
They supernova.
If you reach for the stars what would happen to your hands?
They would get burned.
How the constellation Orion came to be?
Some stars happen to be in that direction.Some stars happen to be in that direction.Some stars happen to be in that direction.Some stars happen to be in that direction.
What would happen if the sun suddenly shrank in size?
stars
What would happen if two neutron stars collided?
In all probability - not that this scenario would happen - but the resulting combination of masses, would push the combined "stars" over the Chandrasekhar limit and a black hole would form.
What is a neutron star collision?
That would be a collission between two neutron stars. Since many stars are actually double stars, this can happen now and then.
What would happen it you had no nighttime?
What would happen is that we won't be able to see the stars or see the sunset. We would still be able to sleep I guess but you never know ^_^
How old are the stars of the crux?
A constellation, such as Crux, contains billions of stars which are unrelated to one another - they just happen to be in the same direction, from our point of view.
What would happen to stars if there was no gravity?
If there were no gravity, period, there would be no stars. If gravity ceased to work, there would be a whole lot of violent explosions as the nuclear, mechanical and other forces within the stars popped the stellar balloons, so to speak.
If the sun didn't exist what would happen to the stars?
If our sun did not exist the other stars would be little different from the way they are. The sun is just one of billions of stars in the galaxy. Many of the stars we see in the sky are larger than our own sun.
If the sea stars in a clam bed were destroyed what would happen?
They feed on them and then the clams would overpopulate the beds if not eaten.
What will happen if a star hits earth?
It would be better to ask what would happen if Earth hit a star, as stars are much larger than Earth is. The planet would be vaporized by the intense heat.
