A hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium, our sun is about 4.5 billion years old. 

While many are curious about the life span of the sun, let us tell you that scientists believe that it is a little less than halfway through its total lifetime 

According to scientists, the sun will last for another five billion years. 

Like other stars, the sun will eventually run out of energy and end up engulfing mercury and venus, possibly earth as well. 

The sun is about 150 million kilometers away from the earth. 

Being at the centre of the solar system, the sun is a prominent source of life on the earth.
