No, our sun will not go supernova. The Sun is a relatively small star, classified as a G-type yellow-dwarf. A supernova is a violent and dramatic stellar explosion that only occurs at the end of the lives of very massive stars. To go supernova, a star needs to be at least 8 to 10 times the mass of our Sun.
Here's what will happen to our Sun:
* In about 5 billion years, the Sun will run out of hydrogen fuel in its core.
* It will then expand into a red giant, becoming so large that it will likely engulf Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth.
* After this red giant phase, the Sun will shed its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula.
* The remaining core will collapse into a white dwarf, a dense, Earth-sized stellar remnant that will slowly cool and fade over billions of years.
