      Yup, it will eventually run out of fuel and die. This will happen a looooooooooooong time after humans are gone though

      Yes, in about 5 billion years.

      All stars die and ours is no different. Our Sun will one day puff up really big and red and eat everything in its path before dying :mrgreen: It won’t happen for a very long time, though, so you have nothing to worry about 🙂
