what i leared

This huge piece of iron, known as Ahnighito, is actually just one portion of a much larger meteorite that fell to Earth from space. It landed in Greenland thousands of years ago, before any people lived there. The original meteorite, called Cape York, was initially around 200 tons—at least six times the size of Ahnighito—before it broke apart in the atmosphere. Two other fragments of Cape York can also be seen in this hall. At 34 tons, Ahnighito is the largest meteorite on display in any museum.

i learned that the sun was a star.the sun Situated at the center of the solar system.i also learned that The Sun is believed to be more than 4.6 billion years old, and is comprised of mostly hydrogen (74%) and helium (25%). The remaining 1% is made up of small amounts of various heavier elements.
i would like to know can the sun die or not? also i would like to know how big is the sun? and how was it made?how big was the Ahnighito before it broke a port?
