in about 5 billion years the sun will probably become a red giant. it will expand and cool, engulfing the earth.it will either slowly fade away after that or explode as a nova.

I heard that it will die in 5 billion years. But by then humans will be living in other galaxies anyway so don't worry about it.

Six-billion years will do it.
The universe will be long gone in two-hundred trillion years!

You should be worried more about a nuclear World War III, than the sun being extinct.

It won't be that long. It will burn out in about 5-10 billion years.
So be ready, you don't want to be caught without your flashlight.

our sun is a middle aged star; it's death will mean the end of planet earth long before it expands into a super giant, then it will shrink into a star about the size of our planet.
