Slowly, the Sun is getting bigger. About 1% every 10 million years.

As it consumes more and more hydrogen, it looses mass, and in doing so, it has less gravity to hold back the outer envelope of the Sun.

In about 2 billion years, the Sun would be 20% larger than it is now, and so hot that it is likely that all water on the Earth would have evaporated.
