About 5 billion years. However, long before that - somewhere around 500 million to 1 billion years from now - the Sun is expected to become so hot that no life can survive on Earth - unless we do something about it, of course.

Does a red main sequence star have fusion?

A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.


What is the process they generates energy into the core of the main sequence star?

Hydrogen fusion to make helium. When a star runs out of hydrogen in its core to fuse, it begins collapsing, leaves the main sequence, then ignites helium fusion to make carbon, becoming a red giant.


What makes a star stop being a sequence star?

Basically, the stars on the "Main Sequence" are the ones that fuse hydrogen-1 into helium-4. Once a star burns up its hydrogen-1 fuel, or doesn't have much left, it will start burning helium-4 into heavier elements. It is then that the star leaves the "Main Sequence".


Which stage is the sun in?

The Sun is currently on the main sequence, and will stay on it for about another 4.5 billion years. Our sun is currently 4.5 billion years old, which is considered middle age for a star/the sun. The sun has used up half of the available hydrogen, which leaves our sun with about 5 billion years left, before the sun's hydrogen is burnt out, and the sun is no longer our primary source of energy for the earth or any other planet that has life on it.

How do astronomers know that hydrogen is present in almost every star in the universe?

Astronomers use spectroscopy to analyze the light emitted by stars. By studying the absorption lines in a star's spectrum, astronomers can identify the elements present in its composition. Since hydrogen leaves a distinct signature in these absorption lines, scientists have found that hydrogen is the most abundant element in stars, including our Sun.
