The sun is expanding and burning increasingly brighter because of its diminishing fuel supply; hydrogen. The sun is constantly fusing hydrogen atoms, situated in its core, into helium atoms. As the hydrogen supply begins to run low, the sun increases its density and temperature to maintain a constant energy generation rate, or rate of "fusion". The rise in density and temperature causes more energy to rise to the sun's surface, and creates a thicker, but lighter, outer layer.
So, the sun is not exactly growing; its matter is merely being distributed in a different and slightly more inconsistent way.

It will expand and become a red giant.
Can sun fall into the earth?
No, the sun is too bug to fall into the earth. The sun has used up approximately half of its life. In another 4 billion years or so, the sun will expand to become a red giant. When it does, the earth will be swallowed up by the sun.
Can the sun get too hot?
Not really but it will expand at the end of its' life and will engulf the Earth as well as many of the planets.
When is our sun expected to blow up?
The sun is not expected to "blow up." It will gradually expand into a red giant in about 5 billion years, engulfing the inner planets including Earth, before eventually shedding its outer layers and becoming a white dwarf.
What would happen to sealed bag of chips left in the sun?

Can sun's heat expand large rocks?

Why does the Eiffel Tower lean?
The metal girders expand slightly when exposed to heat. They only expand on the side directly hit by the sun, which makes it lean away from the sun.
Why do people want to expand the concentration camps?

How Venus getting closer to the sun?
The Sun might be pulling the Venus' Orbit. Venus walks to its orbit until it enter the Sun, or because the Sun is dying. But how the Sun will die? 1. Sun expands. It expand and expand until it became a Red Giant 2. Earth is inside the Sun. (If I say Earth is inside the sun, The Mercury, Venus and Earth is inside) 3. (For easier to understand for others) The Sun explodes\collapses because it cannot expand anymore 4. Becomes a White Dwarf
What is the synonym for enlarge?
get bigger or expand you can pick which one you want to try get bigger or expand
Is the Earth in danger of falling into the sun?
Not any time soon. In about 4 or 5 billion years, the Sun will expand in to a red giant, at which time it may expand enough to swallow up the Earth.
Will the sun expand?
It will indeed expand to a red giant in about 5 billion years. It will then subsequently collapse to a white then brown dwarf star.
When the Sun expand into the red giant and become a white dwarf do you think it will be the end of the Earth?
NO. Another viewpoint: It probably will be the end of the Earth as we know it. It's likely that the Sun will expand until the Earth is inside it.
What cause rock to expand over day?
Heat from the sun hitting the rocks atoms and exiting them. The exited atoms want more space so they can vibrate faster so it expands.
How can you blow up the sun?
as far as i know you cannot but after billions of years a star including our sun will expand then shrink and die
What is the probability of the sun crashing into the earth?
It is 0. The sun will eventually expand into a red giant and "swallow" the earth but that is not the same as crashing into it.
When will our sun expand into a red giant?
A very long time. Billions of years
