And what stage is the sun in now?
2006-06-22 07:08:32 · update #1
Yes, in a couple of billion years, the Sun will exhaust most of its hydrogen and enter the Red Giant Phase, its radius will be equal to that of the orbit of Mars.
Astronomical calculations are proof.

there is a very high possiblity of this happening, but there is also a chance that instead of the sun growing into a Red Giant it might actually become smaller and live out its life as a Brown Dwarf Star

I'm not sure if that's competely true, but what I know is the sun is like any other star and like any other star it does not last forever. I'm not saying that your wrong, I'm just saying that they can have many theories about how the world will end. I say we just go live in space :D!!

Basicaly, the answer is yes. Scientists ASSUME this is true by observing other stars. If our sun behaves like other stars of its type, what you described will happen. As it does, it will eventually burn up much of its fuel and cool down to a larger, but quieter star.

I'm not sure how many years it will, but it will eventually. The sun is a star, and it will expand and expand, burning up the planets that are closeby. Eventually exploding.

Who cares what happens in billions of years, we'll all be long gone, and so will our grandkids.
