The Sun's Future - Becoming a red giant star #shorts #sunlifecycle #redgiantstar

The future evolution of our Sun is a fascinating topic in astrophysics. Currently, the Sun is a stable, middle-aged star that fuses hydrogen into helium in its core, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. However, as the Sun continues to burn through its nuclear fuel, it will undergo several stages of evolution that will eventually lead to its transformation into a red giant.

As the Sun evolves through its different stages, the changes it undergoes will have significant effects on the planets in its solar system, including Earth.

During the red giant phase, the Sun's outer envelope will expand significantly, potentially reaching sizes where it could engulf the inner planets, including Mercury and Venus also it can engulf up to Earth. This expansion is a result of the Sun's core running out of hydrogen fuel for nuclear fusion, causing it to contract while the outer layers expand due to the increased pressure and energy released by the hydrogen burning in a shell around the core.

The red giant phase is one of the most visually dramatic stages in a star's life cycle, and it's a critical step toward the Sun's eventual transformation into a white dwarf.
