How Long Will The Sun Last?

How can we even think about the sun in this way? Won't the sun last for ever? The reason science can consider this question is that we know the sun is simply a star, and this means we can compare it with other stars. And since other stars have gone through a Process of change, science believes that the same will eventually happen to the sun.

At one time, in fact, it was believed that the sun was a body that was slowly cooling off. It was simply "burning". Now we know that if this were so, the sun could only have lasted several thousand years.

If it is not "burning", then what is going on in the sun? We now have evidence that indicates that the sun's radiant energy is the result of atomic transformations. The hydrogen atoms in the very hot interior of the sun combine to form helium. This sets free the energy which flows steadily from the inside of the sun to its surface.

How long can this go on? Well, let us suppose it goes on exactly as it is doing now for another 150 billion years. As a result of this process, the mass of the sun would be reduced by roughly 1 per cent! So it seems that the sun can continue to shine and supply the earth with energy for many billions and billions of years to come.

About another 5 billion years, or till it runs out of hydrogen.

The sun will last about 4.5 billion years if it keeps going the way it is

Astronomers project the sun will last another 4.5 billion years.

As Scientists say, it is believed that it will last a billion light years before it actually erupts or burns out. But that is just what they say...as for it being true we wont know unless it actually started showing signs of it actually burning out or erupt & blow to pieces.

Simply-It has enough fuel left to burn for billions of years.

Well I don't know about you all... But when it happens it will happen no scientist or genius can and will never determine such thing. Because the same was said for the year 2000 and what happened we are still here. Only god or the earth itself will determine that.  Not a human being, because everyday new people make investigations and everyday is a something new to learn about.

There is no way to know another billion years or next month. There is no way to know. Makes you wonder how we can know this 92 million miles away, but don't know what goes on in Israel with the killing and torturing and in China with the killing and torturing. Seems everything that the chosen touch turns to killing and torturing. We allowed millions of Commies into this country after WWII and could this be the reason our country has gone to hell?

We have bigger problems like 2012 disaster
