Stellar Nebula
Stellar Nebula 8 billion years ago, gravity began to pull together lots of gas and dust in space. This began the formation of our solar system, specifically our sun. -
60,000 BCE
Protostar
6 billion years ago, gravity began to pull at the enter of our solar system. This pulled all the gas and dust from the stellar nebula together. This began to create a disk shape forming billions of stars and planets. -
4600 BCE
Our Sun was Born
Our Sun formed 4.6 billion years ago. It began fusing Hydrogen to Helium. It was formed as a G2 main sequence star. It will stay this way for another 5 billion years. -
Red Giant
Once all the Hydrogen runs out in the sun, gravity will lose grip and our sun will expand to a red giant. -
Planetary Nebua
11 billion years after the sun formed, all of the Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon, and Oxygen will run out.This means there's no more fuel left for the sun. All of the outer gases once held in by gravity will be released, leaving behind the core of the sun. This will occur in another 6.5 billion years. -
White Dwarf
White Dwarf Once all of the gas and dust have escaped from the core of the sun, all that will be left is a white dwarf. This is the last stage for our sun, meaning our star has died. The last bit that it burns are heavy metals like silver and iron. This will occur in 13 billion years.
