         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.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
