When the Sun runs out of fuel, the Earth would not receive any energy; life could no longer exist on Earth. This isn't likely to happen though: long before that happens, the Sun will get so hot that it will kill any life on Earth. The Sun will also become very large, and it may or may not engulf (swallow) the Earth.

By that time earth will be no more:c, but just to answer your question, it will eventually become a black dwarf.

Which progression do astronomers expect our sun to follow as it runs out of fuel?

When the sun runs out of fuel it is expected to turn into a red supergiant engulfing earth. Then it is supposed to shrink into a white dwarf.


What will the sun turn into when it runs out of fuel or fusion does this mean the end of life on earth?

At first, the sun will soon run out of its primary fuel, hydrogen. This will cause the sun's layers to expand, becoming a red giant. This will likely happen in 5 billion years. While scientists are unsure whether the expanded the sun will engulf the Earth or not, it will likely end life on Earth nonetheless.After it runs out of all fuel, including the heavier elements, it will begin shedding its outer layers and become a planetary nebula. Life on Earth would've almost certainly ceased by then.


After the sun runs out of fuel for fusion this will be the end of life on Earth?

Yes, but it is a long way off


What will happen when earth runs from solar system?

The earth will just float into space, however the Earth can not get out of the solar system because of the sun's gravitational pull.


When exactly does sun set happen?

Sunset happens when the earth turns you far enough so that the line from your eye to the sun runs into the ground.


What will happen first the earth colliding with the sun or the sun running out of fuel?

Easy answer: The Sun's surface will contact Earth before all of it's fuel has been consumed Not so easy: As the Sun runs out of fuel in it's core, it's pressure will reduce and the surface will expand as the Sun starts fusing hydrogen in a shell outside of it's core. The expansion of the surface will expand beyond the present orbit of the Earth. In this scenario, the Sun is still fusing hydrogen when it's surface comes into contact with the Earth, so it still has fuel. So Sun 1 However, research has suggested that as the Sun looses mass, the Earth will slowly increase it's orbit away from the Sun and the two surfaces will never touch. So Earth 1, Sun 1. Yet, even more research has suggested that tidal interactions will draw the Earth into the Sun. So Sun 2, Earth 1. Wait about 5 billions years and we can be sure what happens!!


If the sun runs out of fuel this would be the end of Earth?

Yes. When the sun runs out of hydrogen in its core, rather than simply dying it will expand to many times its original size, becoming a red giant. It will consume the planets Mercury and Venus and probably Earth.


What would happen if the sun orbits like the earth?

the sun moves closer to earth


What will happen to the sun when it runs out of fuel for fusion?

When the sun runs out of fuel for fusion, it will expand into a red giant, shedding its outer layers into space, before eventually collapsing into a white dwarf. This process will take several billion years to occur.


What will happen if the sun will lost its fuel?

If the sun were to run out of fuel, it would eventually expand into a red giant, consuming Mercury and Venus, and possibly Earth. After this phase, it would shed its outer layers to become a planetary nebula, leaving behind its core as a white dwarf. The white dwarf would slowly cool and fade away over billions of years.
