      Scientists believe that the Sun will keep growing until it implodes (explodes in on itself). I’m not sure whether it will be 10 times bigger but it will certainly destroy us and many of the other planets nearby (including the ones further away). As the Sun gets older it will slowly become a red colour and get more and more red the closer it gets to dying.

      Can you ask questions in other Zones? If so there is a space zone I am sure the scientist in that zone can give you a crazy answer about the sun etc….
