G-type stars, like the sun, will generally go through their main sequence, growing brighter all the time, until they expand to red giants, followed by a helium flash (or possibly several flashes), followed by the shedding of the outer layers of the star, at which time a slowly cooling white dwarf remains, which should, given enough time, cool enough to become a black dwarf.

What is the life cycle or a sunlike star?

A sunlike star goes through the following stages in its life cycle: nebula, protostar, main sequence star, red giant, planetary nebula, and finally white dwarf. During the main sequence stage, the star fuses hydrogen into helium in its core, releasing energy. Once it exhausts its hydrogen fuel, it expands into a red giant before shedding its outer layers to form a planetary nebula. The remaining core becomes a white dwarf, cooling down over billions of years.
