... ○ “The helium "ashes" left behind are denser than hydrogen, so the hydrogen/helium mix in the Sun's core is very slowly becoming denser, thus raising the pressure. This causes the nuclear reactions to run a little hotter. After another 4.8 billion years, the Sun will be about 67% brighter than it is ...
