Other stars in the universe come to an end by just bursting out into smaller parts so will sun also end in the same way taking will it other planets.

Eventually yes our sun will burn out. :-)~

Eventually yes. The Sun will burn its hydrogen fuel in about another 5 billion years, and will first turn into a red giant. That's when some of the planets will be engulfed by the its expansion. After that phase will end, the Sun will become nova, shedding some of the outer layers of material, and will end up as a white dwarf, which will slowly fade.

The Sun's current age, determined using computer models of stellar evolution and nucleocosmochronology, is thought to be about 4.57 billion years.


Life-cycle of the SunThe Sun is about halfway through its main-sequence evolution, during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Each second, more than 4 million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation. The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a main sequence star.

The Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova. Instead, in 4-5 billion years, it will enter a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the core is consumed and the core contracts and heats up. Helium fusion will begin when the core temperature reaches around 100 MK, and will produce carbon and oxygen. While it is likely that the expansion of the outer layers of the Sun will reach the current position of Earth's orbit, recent research suggests that mass lost from the Sun earlier in its red giant phase will cause the Earth's orbit to move further out, preventing it from being engulfed. However, Earth's water will be boiled away and most of its atmosphere will escape into space.

Following the red giant phase, intense thermal pulsations will cause the Sun to throw off its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula. The only object that will remain after the outer layers are ejected is the extremely hot stellar core, which will slowly cool and fade as a white dwarf over many billions of years. This stellar evolution scenario is typical of low- to medium-mass stars.

The other stars either burst or rather fall on the Earth in the form of a Falling star or cool down.They burst as their temperature decreases.Sun is also considered to be a star,in-fact the brigthest star and a big ball of fire.The aproximate temperature at the centre of the Earth is 10000000 Kelvin which is very high.Its high temperature is due to a reaction called Fusion reaction.These reactions on the surface of the sun involve fusion[combination]of hydrogen atom to form helium nuclei.In these reactions a large amount of heat is generated.But although after million of years but the hydrogen atom on the surface of the sun will keep depleting till they exhaust as they deplete the temperature of the sun decreases till it cools to form only a big body in the space or according to some scientists predict that it may even burst out after cooling down.
This will mark the end of the big ball of fire which is the sun.

Yes...Obviously...Ankita. Our Sun is a yellow main sequence dwarf star and his life time is 10 billion years and already 5 billion years have passed. After another five billion years, our sun will expand up to 100 times of hs diameter and turn as a red gaint. In that stage only all planets will dissapear into Sun. Eventually, after turning up of hydrogen, Sun will shrink as a white dwarf and the light will be lessened. Thus after supernova, Sun will turn into Neutron star. After some years, he'll turn in to a black hole which has the immense power of gravity.

I wonder why we should not hope,

we, as humans, if allowed to remain so,

survive the dooms day

when the Sun burns out

when we invent a life system

independent of our solar system

and our earth's atmosphere/biosphere,

as we are ingenious in

getting more and more intelligent

on such an acceleration tangent

that is at the speed at which

we have arrived at this stage

of development from rock ages

despite millions of years survival

even without basic comforts

such as making fire etc.



Then I think the word, basic,

looking back from the present;

after some ten centuries

or sooner it can be,

the present stage

will be termed as basic

on hindsight by our progeny.

No. the whole declare that the Earth became going to end in 2012 is in keeping with a *misinterpretation* of the Mayan calender, which looks to those who don't be conscious of the thank you to study it to end in 2012. somewhat, the Mayan calender is a cyclic calender, which ability it runs in a cycle. (very resembling a motor vehicle's odometer, which, whilst it reaches 999,999 miles, will click decrease back over and initiate at 000,000 lower back.) the human beings who're claiming that the Mayans predicted the top of the international are analyzing the Mayan calender as though it became a linear calender like ours. it is not. The Mayans did no longer are watching for the top of the international. they did no longer make any claims of the form. the human beings who say that the Mayans reported something like that are people who be conscious of no longer something relating to the Mayan subculture, don't be conscious of the thank you to study the Mayan calender, and have not have been given any concept what they're talking approximately. the two way, why anyone might connect any form of importance to a perceived "prediction" made via an historic civilization that would no longer even are watching for it is own downfall is previous logical comprehension. (no longer that any end-time theorists interior the history of mankind are well-known for their logic or comprehension skills.) it is somewhat baffling that it is Christians who seem to have grabbed directly to this, and use it to diminish back up their faith's end-time fable, whilst decrease than the different situations they might say that the Mayans ideals have been "fake ideals".

yes like the other stars the sun will also end as the other stars but after millions of years.

The most massive stars die in the brilliant explosions known as supernovae. Our star is more likely to follow the more typical course. It will expend its nuclear fuel, swell to great size as a red giant, and eventually shed most of its mass, leaving a very dense white dwarf behind.

As for the planets, Mercury and Venus will be consumed as the red giant grows to encompass their orbits. Earth will be scorched, but likely spared. As the sun loses mass, the Earth's orbit will widen, allowing the planet to escape being swallowed by the sun.

The Sun and stars lose energy continually.The total structural energy of the Sun is aprox=1.78582654 x10^47 joules.it would take not bilions of year but trillions of year for the small star called Sun to loses all its energy.Therefore there is not much to worry about the Sun dying.It need to die in order to send usable energy to earth but compared to our life time its trivial.

Yes it will; it's the lifespan of all stars - just like us humans! Just like no person lives forever, neither does a star. Scientists don't estimate this happening until way in the future, however, and it's plausible we will have found a way to leave this planet if we're not extinct by then.
