People have always wondered how the world as we know it will end. One of the countless theories
states tha, in a few billion years, the sun will burn itself out. But before that, its air supply of hydrogen
fuel will be exhausted, turning it into a gigantic red star capable of sending out 100 times more energy
than it presently does. This phenomenon will make all the planets surrounding the sun incredibly hot.
Planet Earth will heat up as well, oceans will start boiling and, eventually, life on earth will come to an
end. After everything has ended, the cooling sun will be nothing more than just a tiny, weak star.
