We all already know that the Sun is the closest star that exists to the earth, in addition to this huge celestial body being a star, it also guarantees life on our planet, but do you know how old the sun is?
One of the rules that exists in the entire universe is that everything that is born is destined to one day die and the sun is no exception, currently it is more or less in its half of its life cycle.
What will happen when the sun dies?
When the sun dies the entire solar system will die along with it, have you ever imagined a celestial body that is 1 300 000 times larger than the earth and which represents 99,86% of the entire mass of the solar system exploding? This will happen and I guarantee that the damage will not be small, but you can rest assured that it is very likely that humanity will not "see" this happen as it is expected to happen in a few BILLIONS of years.
Without further ado, the Sun's lifetime is estimated at 11 billion years and its age is currently 4.6 billion years, that is, there are still some 6.4 billion years left.
Remembering that they currently inhabit the solar system eight planets and Earth was the only one that managed to stay at a distance not too far and not too close, which was enough for life to develop.
The eight planets in the solar system are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Although Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, Venus which is the hottest.
