Exploring the Sun's lifecycle reveals its profound impact on the Solar System. As the Sun burns hydrogen, its increasing luminosity threatens Earth's habitability, potentially rendering it uninhabitable in 1 billion years. Mars may briefly become more hospitable, but as the Sun becomes a red giant, even the outer planets and their moons will face drastic changes. The Sun's transformation into a white dwarf will leave the Solar System cold and lifeless, with galactic dynamics playing a role in its ultimate dissolution.
