The Sun is about 4.6 billion years old and is a star that will shine in the Earth’s sky for a long time to come. However, it will not always be this way. For years, scientists have wondered when and how the central body would die Solar System. New research in this area is showing interesting details.
It is worth starting with the fact that The sun will die in about 10 billion years. However, in about 5 billion years it will turn into a red giant.

The search results are published in natural astronomy.
