Will the Sun get extinguish in the near future???

Answer 1

Only God can give definite answer to this question. Human mind can only give assumptions and predictions based on existing theories.

Answer 2

Yep. The Sun, in 4.5 billion years supposedly, WILL start to swell. It will get bigger, and en-gulp Mercury and Venus. The atmosphere will evaporate, water will melt, and life will be gone. The sun will swell enough to devour the earth, then shrink, grow, Turn into a planetary nebula, then shrink, for the last time, into a white dwarf. Then In a few billion years, cool down to a black dwarf.

The reason the sun expands, In case you want to know, Is because of its fuel supply. The energy from the sun comes from nuclear fusion of Helium. When the helium supply runs out, The sun has to fuse hydrogen, therefore making the sun swell. The sun then will Shrink, once its helium supply is restored, grow again, then cast out a planetary nebula (For what a planetary nebula looks like, Look up the ring nebula) then it wont have enough hydrogen to grow back to the normal size...and become a white dwarf. Eventually, it will cool into a black dwarf and die.

Answer 3

The Sun would not extinguish. But the Sun's heat and light probably would extinguish. But if I am not wrong, it would be in a million years for that to happen. Check it out on www.google.com. The answers there are more reliable.

Answer 4

The sun will burn out in another 5 billion years at the soonest. It is about 5 billion years old and it it halfway through its life cycle. We know this by the relative hydrogen and helium content of the sun, which is determined by the color of light the sun is putting out. Our sun, as well as all stars in the same life phase, is fusing hydrogen atoms into helium ("burning" hydrogen in a nuclear reaction). Once all the hydrogen is gone billions of years from now, it will start burning the helium, and from there moving up the periodic table until it gets to iron. Our star will not produce any elements that are heavier than iron, because it is not massive enough to go supernova.

Answer 5

Right now the Sun is a yellow star converting approx 400 million tons of hydrogen into helium through fusion every second. When the hydrogen runs out, it will evolve into a red giant. This is the "bad" stage since as it grows to giant size, it will incinerate Mercury, Venus and the Earth and its surface will end up just inside the orbit of Mars. As a red giant it will convert helium into oxgen and carbon. When the helium runs out, it will eject some mass off into space in a mini nova [it is not massive enough to go supernova--gonna go out with a whimper, not with a shout]. It will end up as a white dwarf.
But, do not worry this whole process takes billions of years. It has, so most astronomers gu-estimate, about 4 or 5 billion years left in its yellow phase. So, plenty of time for humantiy to figure out a way off this rock and to look for that perfect getaway vacation home elsewhere.

Answer 6

The Sun is roughly 4.8 billion years old and will die after it becomes a red giant which will begin 5 billion years from now. The red giant phase of the Sun is considered to be the Sun's final 10% of it's life.

Answer 7

It's got about 4 to 5 billion years to go, which could be considered the 'near future' from a universal perspective, but which probably won't worry you or your descendents too much.

Answer 8

Not for a few billion years.

"In about 5 billion years, the Sun will evolve into a red giant and then a white dwarf, creating a planetary nebula in the process."

Answer 9

Only if you consider "the near future" to include another five billion years.

Answer 10

Yeah. About 4.5 billion years later.
