I explore and summarize the theory and experimental process that has already been implemented and published regarding the evolution of a star and how we determine the ages of stars using both Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams and absorption spectra (which is linked to metallicity). When specifically looking at the sun, the tools astronomers use are in depth
