Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to scientific estimates, the Sun is approximately 5 billion years old. It was formed from a cloud of gas and dust called a solar nebula, which collapsed under gravity about 4.6 billion years ago. This makes the Sun a middle-aged star, expected to remain in its current state for another 4-5 billion years before eventually running out of fuel and dying.
