In 5 to 7 billion years, our sun will reach the end of its life. The sun’s source of life, hydrogen, will come to an end. The star that once illuminated everything we know and love in our world will eventually cool and die.
Sun’s life cycle revealed
Of course, it’s still too early to worry. For now, the Sun is considered to be in the prime of its life. We can say that the Sun, which is about 4.57 billion years old, is still in its middle age. It easily converts the hydrogen contained in it to helium and shines with all its power.
Scientists, on the other hand, continue to produce ideas about the future of the Sun. You might expect the Sun to be easier to study, as it is relatively close to other stars. However, the Sun, which is extremely bright due to its proximity, is much more difficult to study than other stars.
Continuing their research despite all these difficulties, scientists speculate about the Milky Way Galaxy and the Sun we are in. Thus, what awaits humanity in the future is revealed more clearly.
According to research, when Günel reaches 8 billion years old, it will reach its maximum temperature. It is predicted that the Sun, which will then start to cool, will continue to grow. According to the data, the Sun will become a magnificent ‘red giant’ when it reaches about 11 billion years old. Then, like all stars, the life of the Sun will come to an end.
Explaining the life of the Sun with an image, the European Space Agency (ESA) examines the stars in the Milky Way and presents this data to us. By examining the temperatures and radii of the stars, a life cycle for the Sun is revealed.
Looks like the sun has a long way to go? Do you think humanity will be able to live that long? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
