Why the sun will increase in size as it begins to burn off its fuel?

As the denser material which results from the reactions in the sun move closer to the center under gravitational pull the center mass is distanced from the outer reaches of the sun's surface. Less gravitational effect on the outer surface allows the surface to move further away. The overall gravitational effect will lessen over time as material is ejected away from the sun through the solar wind and other processes as well.

Does the moon increase its size?
No, the moon does not increase it's size.
Why does the sun will increase in size as it begins to burn off its fule?
because helium is larger than hydrogen. Our sun will become a red giant, burn away mercury, venus and possibly earth, then run out of gas and become a dwarf. The death of a star is a complelex process and is very different for individual stats. A stars demise is dependent on it's mass. Since you are asking about stars that increase in size, I will answer your question adressing star of low to medium mass like our sun. The life of a star is spent in a balancing act between the force of gravity pulling the star inward and the outward force of pressuure of the gas, plasma, and heat caused by nuclear fusion inside the star. As hydrogen, the fuel you speak of, is converted to helium, nuclear fusion begins to decrease. As pressure drops, gravity takes over and causes the star to shrink. This is where things get interesting. As the star shrinks, pressure and heat begin to increase again and when the star reaches a critical pressure and temperature, helium begins to fuse into carbon, oxygen, and other medium elements. This "second" round of fusion releases copius amounts of energy that can, and often does, cause the outer layers of the star to swell up and dissipate into space. This is why, in 4+ billion years, our sun will expand and strip the Earth of its surface. Remeber, this is the scenario for low and medium size star. The end of larger is much more dramatic.
Can a pinhead size amount of the sun's core burn up a town?
it can not burn down a town hudave
What is the main source of energy of a star as it grows in size to becomes a red giant?
A main sequence star burns hydrogen to helium. Once a main sequence star exhausts all of the hydrogen, it begins to expand and burn helium causing if to become a red giant.
What would happen if the sun increase in size?
we would die
Does battery size matter in a flashlight?
The size of that battery can increase weight, but the size can improve burn time and brightness. Bigger batteries generally supply more power. If the volts are increased this increases the capacity for a brighter bulb. If the amps are increased this increases the burn time of the flashlight.
What are the 3 stages a star goes through before it burns out?
The star burns as a young star. Then as the star ages its fusion reaction begins to burn out of control and it grows in size to that of a red giant. Finally as it reach a critical mass it runs out of fuel to support itself. The star begins to collapses on itself and explodes into a supernova leaving behind a neutron star or a white dwarf.
What size stars have longer lives?
larger stars have longer lives, because as stars burn they are slowly burning up fuel and begin to cave in on themselves. the larger, the more fuel, the more fuel, the longer lasting.
What should the RPM read when going 65mph on a 1993 1.6 Geo storm?
Depends on what size tires you are using. Different size tires will change the reading. The rpm with 55's will be different than with 75's. It's a trick that Detroit used to comply with new fuel economy standards. Increase the size of the tire and you increase fuel economy.
What is the fuel consumption of a falcon jet?
Dassault produces a number of Falcon aircraft and the fuel consumption will depend on the size of the jet.For comparison the Falcon 7X can burn 318 gallons per hour, where the much lighter Falcon 10 will burn 212 gallons per hour.
How many calories can you burn with the kettlebell workout?
The kettlebell workout can burn nearly 300 calories in 20 minutes. This number can increase or decrease depending on the size of the person doing the workout and the amount of time spent working out.
How do you Convert motor oil to diesel fuel?
Short of re-refining it there is no good way to break the long molecules of motor oil into the size that makes diesel fuel. You can add small amounts of motor oil to diesel fuel and it will burn but it is not recommended.
Does the moon increase its size?
No, the moon does not increase it's size.
What is the Fuel consumption of a cargo ship?
The amount of fuel burn for a marine vessel is dependent on multiple factors. These include the vessel size, tonnage, propulsion type (fuel oil, diesel, nuclear, etc.), speed, marine conditions, and the engine efficiency itself.
How do you increase arms size?
Weight lifting is one. If you have fat, you will need to burn that first before you can build on muscle. Any thing involving the movement of your arms is good.
How do meanders increase in size?
maenders increase size my the precipition i think so.
How does the size affect the flight of a rocket?
A small rocket might go higher because a smaller rocket has less weight
