white dwarf star
Earth's sun is currently a main sequence star which has a small mass. Eventually it will expand into Red Giant star once the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium gas. After the Red Giant phase, the star throws off its outer layers and then becomes a planetary nebula. A sun-like star will either become a white dwarf or black dwarf following the planetary nebula.
Stars like the sun eventually die because they run out of nuclear fuel to sustain the fusion reactions in their cores. When a star exhausts its hydrogen fuel, it expands into a red giant, sheds its outer layers, and eventually collapses into a dense core, either becoming a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, depending on its mass. This marks the end of the star's life cycle.
An average star like our sun will eventually become a red giant as it exhausts its nuclear fuel. After that, it will shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula and leave behind a dense core called a white dwarf.
In fact, the sun is not massive. It is an average, yellow star. When the sun goes into its next stage, it becomes a red giant. This could consume the whole solar system. Then, when it burns out, the gases escape into space, and it becomes a little tiny star called a white dwarf. Eventually it will burn out, and that's how the sun's lifecycle works.

sup.
Earth's sun is currently a main sequence star which has a small mass. Eventually it will expand into Red Giant star once the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium gas. After the Red Giant phase, the star throws off its outer layers and then becomes a planetary nebula. A sun-like star will either become a white dwarf or black dwarf following the planetary nebula.
There is only one star in the solar system: Sol, or the Sun. The Sun is a small to medium size star, and is about half as old as it will eventually get before it turns into a white dwarf star. Our Sun is a very average star when compared to all the others.
yes unfortunately
the sun is smaller than average I think
Our Sun is above average; the average star is a red dwarf, with a fraction of the mass of our Sun, and a fraction of its diameter.

First off, the Sun is not a big star. It is a Main Sequence star, which means it's an average size star. Second, at the formation of your Solar System, gravity caused rocks to start getting closer together and spinning. Eventually, the friciton and gravity was so great, and became so hot, the spinning rocks became a star, known as the Sun.
the sun is yes indeed a star, hard to believe but it is an average sized star, and it is composed of gas
