Sun and Earth: How friendly are they?

1.   Feasible to 'prevent or slow-down', the Sun transforming

Hydrogen into Helium?

If so, are we not allowing to decrease the proportion of Hydrogen

at Sun’s core - over time?

If so, whether the production of Sun’s energy

will get reduced with time,

when the increasing density of hydrogen reaches

asymptoticity?

2.   To what extent, Sun has become

brighter,

warmer and

bigger

until now (from its initial state)?

3.   If Sun has already consumed half of the hydrogen

in its core (first 5 billion years),

then,

does it mean that it has reached the peak,

and in turn,

are we now

in the descending limb

(final 5 billion years)?

If so, can we expect 'the same climate on earth'

that replicates the first 5 billion years

(reflecting the earth's climate pertaining to Sun's ascending limb)?

Or

Continuously increasing solar brightness with time - is going to have

an inevitable consequence on earth’s climate,

which may have a direct influence on

earth’s greenhouse gases

and

earth’s albedo?

4.   How exactly Sun’s rate of rotation

gets influenced

by the transformation between hydrogen and helium?

Whether earth’s climate remains possibly linked with

magneto-hydrodynamics?

What is our knowledge on the correlation of

earth’s climate with

solar magnetic activity

and

solar wind strength?

5.   How about our earlier attempts relating

the rate of solar super-flares

and

coronal mass ejections

with earth’s climate?

6.   How about the intensity of current magnetic field of earth, where,

the intense high-energy-flux

keeps influencing

the atmospheric composition?

If so, can have precise details on the role of

all the greenhouse gases?

7.   Among the following factors:

(a) earth’s rotation;

(b) super-flares, coronal mass ejections & solar wind;

(c) magnetic field intensity;

(d) earth’s albedo;

(f) solar luminosity;

(g) high-energy solar radiation;

(h) continental area and

(i) greenhouse gases;

whether

“only CO2 levels in the atmosphere”

dictate – earth’s climate change?
