How and when?

Question

How and when is the sun going to die?

PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET.

Answer 1

The Sun is about 4.6 billion years old now. In about 4 or 5 more billion years, it will expand to become a red giant. Then it will throw off its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula. (This will melt all the planets except maybe Pluto). When this stage is done, it will cool down to become a white dwarf. After 2 or 3 billion years, it will have cooled down to be a brown dwarf. It will be like that for many many billions of years. Then it will be just a (large) lump of rock until some other star or black hole eats it up.

Answer 2

In several billion years, the sun will have depleted its supply of hydrogen and begin burning helium at which point it becomes a red giant, big enough nearly to consume Earth and making life here pretty much impossible. It will NOT explode.

Afterward, it will become a white dwarf...relatively cool.

Eventually, after myriad years, all of its protons will have decayed and it will die like all the rest of the matter in the universe.

Answer 3

The sun will blow up five billion years after 0 AD. It will grow really big, turn red, and blow up.

Answer 4

i think they say in about a million or billion years from now. i wonder what its going to be like when it happens.. 8) hope that helped?

Answer 5

We'll never live that day because we'll kill each other till that day :(
