How will the Sun evolve? The Sun is now a middle-aged, low-mass, Main
Sequence star in a state of hydrostatic and thermal equilibrium that has
consumed about half of the Hydrogen available for fusion in its core.
What will its subsequent evolution be as its core runs out of Hydrogen?
This lecture describes our current state of understanding of the
expected evolution of the Sun, informed by a combination of
state-of-the-art solar models and stellar evolution codes, and data
gathered from observations of nearby stars in our Galaxy. We will trace
the future history of the Sun from the present until it begins its final
phase as a fading White Dwarf some 8 Billion years in the future. Along
the way, we'll also ask what will become of Earth.
