How long does a blue giant star burn?

How long a star takes to burn out depends on the mass of the star. It is estimated that stars can burn for billions of years. The understanding is the more mass a star has the faster it can burn out.


Will the sun burn out any time soon?

No, the sun has about 5 billion years left before it exhausts its nuclear fuel and swells as a red giant, likely engulfing Mercury and Venus in the process. After that, it will shed its outer layers and become a white dwarf. The sun will not "burn out" in the conventional sense.


How long after the big bang do scientist think it takes before the first star is born?

Larger stars (larger than our own sun) usually have relatively short lives, around 100 million years. That's because they tend to have more hydrogen to burn, expand much faster, and go through their supply in less time. As opposed our sun with a predicted life span of about 9 billion years.


How hot was the Big Bang?

It was so hot that it can burn the sun. it was infinity degrees Celsius 10 billion billion


When is the end of earth?

On the day (about 5 billion years from now) that the Sun changes from its current energy levels and expands sufficiently to burn away the Earth's atmosphere, evaporate the planet's water and bring an end to all life here. Scientists are divided as to what will actually happen to the planet when this happens - it may be consumed by the expanding Sun, or it may just become another rocky piece of unchanging space matter.... but our interest in the planet will definitely have ended. That is when the Earth will die. When humanity dies is another question.

When is the predicted date of when the sun will burn out?

Scientists estimate that the sun will run out of fuel and expand into a red giant in about 5 billion years. After this stage, it will shed its outer layers and eventually become a white dwarf, leaving behind a planetary nebula.

Is it true that in 4.5 billion years the world will end?

Scientists know that the sun will eventually burn out like all stars do. I'm not sure on the time though, as to how many billions of years it will take. It will take over a million years after it burns out for the darkness to reach Earth.
