The Birth and Death of the Sun

"The Birth and Death of the Sun" typically refers to the life cycle of the Sun, our star, which is modeled through the processes of stellar evolution. **Birth of the Sun:** The Sun was born about 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a region within a large molecular cloud composed of gas and dust. This process led to the formation of a protostar, which eventually accumulated enough mass to start nuclear fusion in its core.
