         The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star.It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium.The Sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion,600 million years and is thousands of times larger thanthe Earth.

        By studying other stars,astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun's life will be like. About 5 billion years from now,the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter.The surface temperature will fall.The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions.The auter regions of the Sun will expand aooroximately 35 million miles,about the  distance to Mercury,which is the closest planet to the Sun.The Sun will then be a red giant star Temperatures on the Earth will become too hot for life to exist.

        Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giants,it will begin to shrink.After it shrink to the size of the Earth,it will become a white dwarf star.The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova exphosions as it changes from a red giants to a white dwarf.

        After bilions of years as a white dwarf,the Sun will have esed up all its fuel and will have lost its heat.Such a star is called a black dwarf.After the sun has become a black dwarf,the Earth will be dark and cold.If any atmosphere remains there,it will have frozen onto the Earth's surface.
