The sun will never become a neutron star due to its insufficient mass; only more massive stars can undergo supernova explosions to form neutron stars. Instead, the sun will eventually exhaust its hydrogen fuel and expand into a red giant, fusing helium. After several billion years, it will leave behind a core primarily composed of carbon, which will become a white dwarf. This white dwarf will initially be hot and dense, but it will gradually cool over time. The discussion clarifies the life cycle of stars like the sun, emphasizing that neutron stars are not part of its evolutionary path.
