Will the Sun Ever Burn Out? We Asked a NASA Expert

Will the Sun ever burn out? Not quite, but it will change dramatically. Like all stars, it’s going through a life cycle powered by nuclear fusion. Right now, it’s halfway through its 10-billion-year lifetime.

Eventually, the Sun will expand into a red giant, engulfing the inner planets, then collapse into a white dwarf — a small, hot, dim remnant of its former self.

A NASA scientist explains what’s ahead for our star.

☀️ Will the Sun Ever Burn Out? Here's What NASA Says

The Sun — the heart of our solar system — won't burn out suddenly, but its future is written in the stars. In this official NASA video, scientists explain the incredible life cycle of our Sun, powered by nuclear fusion.

Currently halfway through its 10-billion-year lifespan, our Sun will eventually transform into a red giant, possibly engulfing the inner planets — including Earth — before settling into a white dwarf, the final phase of its stellar evolution.

🔭 This video features insights from NASA scientists, stunning space visuals, and a clear breakdown of:

How nuclear fusion powers the Sun

What happens during the red giant phase

What is a white dwarf

The fate of Earth and our solar system
