When it becomes a red giant and then a white dwarf it has the same mass as it does now, but the size, and hence density changes. Since gravity is dependent just on mass, the Sun's gravitational pull won't change. If it were large enough to supernova, the loss of mass from this explotion would result in a change of gravitational pull, not that we'd be alive to care about it.

We won't care about pull, gravity, or any other planet for long(length of time for the last of the heat to reach us) because we will freeze when the sun is gone! Or the sun will tun into a red giant and we will be burned up! Worry about stuff now that could help conserve our energy.

Not if dimensions don't change. But they do on burn out. So the sun would become a red giant and gobble up earth. But rotation is purely due to awrpage in space due to presence of mass. Hence no. But in reality, yes. It is some while away though. Before that, the oil would run out on earth and that is a bigger threat and so is global warming:-)

The stuff that rotates around the sun doesn't have any 'pull' in a cosmic sense.

The people at the center of the universe could care less what we yokels out here at the far edge of a spiral arm thing and do.

honestly, before it burns out it becomes a red giant. That means that it will expand to the asteroid belt, effectively eliminating all planets and moons up to jupiter. That will happen before we realize the gravity has changed. But yes it change the "pull" of things around it.

If the sun merely burned out it would have roughly the same gravity it had before it burned out, so there would be no effect.

However, it's more likely that our sun would go supernova, which would vaporize the entire solar system.

it would want to likely rotate round a supermassive blackhole positioned on the middle of the galaxy. If no longer, it purely rotates round its middle of mass. the middle of the galaxy contains many great, old stars close jointly in a unmarried position. So their gravitational effect might want to reason the celebrities on the outer section (like our sunlight) to revolve round them

does it really matter, Once the sun burns out there will be no heating device to help the galaxy as we know it for a substained period of time. Earth will no longer exsist as we know it, it will be another planet that will be looked at from another species for alternate life.

Our sun is not going to supernova, it is too small! It will turn into a red giant and expand, then turn into a white dwarf. But that's like, billions of years from now, so don't worry too much!

When the sun starts to die out, it will expand and engulf Mercury, Venus and Earth.
