Here is a scientific version of sab's saying
When the sun used up all of its helium and hydrogen, it can't use fusion. If it can't fuse the atoms, it will stop producing the gamma rays that it sends to the earth. When it runs out, it will expand and expand and blow up and we all die.
Actually, the expansion is progressive. So to put it in better words.

The Sun will have used up all its hydrogen for nuclear fusion when the world ends. When it loses a hydrogen atom, it expands for nanometers (complete assumption). Take it as the Sun has yottalions (highest metric number) of hydrogen atom. When all of those hydrogen has been used up, the Sun will be at it's biggest size (having devoured Mercury and almost doing so to Venus). Why does it expand? Since a Helium atom is bigger and heavier than a Hydrogen atom, it uses up more 'space' (no possible word for this, other than space). As it runs out of Hydrogen, it'll cool down and unable to produce the heat energy exerted from fusion and the gamma rays sent to Earth. It'll literally blow up, and cool down into a white dwarf star (theory). Thing is, the Sun is already at it's 3 billion years milestone, so we have a few more billion years before it goes kaboom. ALSO, we might even die before the Sun explodes, this is due to the theoretical fact that as the Sun grows larger, the habitable zone of the solar system also moves back. The Earth will lose its water before the Sun will go supernova (an another theory).

However, astrophysicists predicted that as the Sun expands, the Earth will also back away from its orbit.

At the red giant stage it'll lose it's mass so in theory most planets including Earth's orbit would weaken, but either way our atsmophere and water would boil up.
Forgot to mention, a theory can have a counter-theory. As I said, its a theoretical prediction.

You guys are science fanatics like me and I'm only 12

The sun won't start a super nova, because isn't "big" enough, so it will turn into a white dwarf star (about the size of Earth). The sun will get so big it might be 100 miles away from Mars...

Sorry, I forgot that a star needs to have a criteria of size to go supernova.

Are you all forgetting my post? The Covenant shall destroy you all! Unless you create a group of heavily augmented supersoldiers grown from kidnapped children... Or the last living Forerunner shall destroy you! Unless one of the last of the supersoldiers stops him... Or whatever the antagonist(s) in Halo 5 and 6 is/are shall destroy you! The Chief's going to beat them too isn't he... :( Or maybe the flood will return, they're definitely on another galaxy, unless they ALL came here and got destroyed during the Battle of Installation 00
