this is how it works.

a star starts off as mostly hydrogen.

EVERY SECOND in sol (our sun) the hydrogen that's being turned into helium, let's off explosive radiation 1,000,000 times greater than the strongest nuke we've ever made.

when the star turns all of it's hydrogen into helium, it then radiates by turning helium into oxygen. and that's when a star starts getting very large.

when the star is done burning the oxygen, it implodes on itself.

currently, sol is about 75% hydrogen, and 25% helium. so it will be around much longer than us humans. and personally, i really don't care, since 90% of the humans on this planet don't deserve to be here in the first place.
