If you make a rough estimate of how much energy the sun emits, you’ll get something like:
E=0.007×0.1×Msunc2 the rate at which the sun is giving off energy is equal 3.8×1026W . And lifetime of the sun is
tsun=3.8×1026E=3.8×10260.007×0.1×Msunc2 If mass of the star is Mstar=0.5Msun, then
tstar=0.5tsun=5×109yrs
