Yes. It will eventually. The sun has enough hydrogen in its core to remain as a main sequence star for about 5 billion years. After that it will alternate between fusing helium in its core and hydrogen in a shell around the core for about 2 billions. Then it will shed its outer layers and leave behind a degenerate remnant called a white dwarf.

Will the sun ever run out of energy and or explode?

The sun will eventually run out hydrogen at its core, which is the source of energy, so it will die, but it will not explode.


Why will the sun burn out?

The sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium. Eventually it will run out of hydrogen. However, this won't happen for several billion years.


When does hydrogen-helium fusion and helium-carbon fusion occur in stars like our sun?

How is a sun like star able to being helium fusion?

Hydrogen stalks run out


Is it possible for the sun to become exhausted?

The expectation is that some day in the (to us) far future, most of the hydrogen in the sun will have been converted to helium (and higher weight atoms). At that point, the sun will be "exhausted" since the energy of the sun comes primarily from the fusion of the hydrogen - when there is no hydrogen left to fuse, the sun will have run out of "fuel".


When will the sun run out of hydrogen source?

In about 6 billion years. Wear a jacket, it will be cold that day :)


Where is hydrogen found on the sun?

The Sun is about 70% hydrogen.


Why is the sun going to run out?

it will go out because EVERY star has a life like humans but dont worry from 2010 in 5 billion years


In the fusion reaction on the sun what happens to hydrogen that does not convert into helium?

It just stays there waiting to be used-the sun has enough to last many billions of years and luckily for us the rate of burning has stayed fairly constant so far, but eventually it will run out of hydrogen and die.


Is hydrogen affected by the sun?

no hydrogen is not affected by the sun because hydrogen can be combined with helium it creates a fuel source but it is not affected by hydrogen by it self so no hydrogen is not affected by the sun


Is the sun one forth hydrogen?

No. The sun is about 75% hydrogen.


What is the percentage of hydrogen on the sun by weight?

The Sun is composed of about 71% hydrogen by mass. This makes hydrogen the most abundant element in the Sun.
