    13. Just like all other stars, the sun is giving off tremendous amounts of energy. Can stars keep this up forever? There is no complete agreement among scientists.

Other scientists believe that stars give out energy until it's all gone. If so, the sun is in the process of being "used up." Whichever the case, two things are likely: first, the sun will grow cooler and cooler and with, it, our earth, and second, it will take so man millions of years that it is of no concern in the forseeable future.
