【英文原文】

Like all stars, the sun is basically a giant nuclear reactor that burns hydrogen to create energy. But like any reactor, the sun needs fuel to keep going. Its been going strong for around four-point-five billion years, and will probably keep burning for about five billion more.

But then the fuel will run out?

Exactly.And when it does gravity will cause the suns core to contract. When it contracts the core will get hotter, which will heat up the suns upper layers and make them expand. The sun will then become whats called a red giant, and its radius will reach just past the orbit of Venus.

Which is bad for us.
We'll be burnt to a crisp.
That sounds painful.
After a few billion years the core will begin to cool and expand. The suns upper layers will expand and lose material, and eventually the core will cool enough to become a white dwarf star, and finally a black dwarf.

So were pretty much doomed.
Yes,but not for billions of years.
