No, the sun will not "Blow Up" the solar system.
The life of a star the size of the sun (Sol) is about 10 billion years. During this time period the star uses a nuclear fusion of hydrogen. This means that the sun fuses hydrogen atoms together to make helium atoms. The energy this process creates counteracts the force of gravity crushing in on the core of the star.
Eventually the star's hydrogen supply runs out. Left with only helium, the star begins to be crushed under gravity. The star then tries to make a desperate gamble for life. Under the extreme force exerted by gravity, the core is actually superheated. In this extreme heat the helium atoms accelerate to high speeds and eventually reignite the nuclear fusion process. The star then swells. It expands and then eventually consumes the solar system. The star then exerts this off in waves. The star then is reduced to the size of earth, this is called a white dwarf (some call it a retired star).
This white dwarf has the energy of a red giant condensed into the size of Earth. This white dwarf then continues through the galaxy.
The white dwarf will eventually find a companion. A companion is a second star in a star system (a binary system). The white dwarf then feeds off its larger companion for energy. In theory every star will have will have an average of at least one companion in its life time.
The white dwarf eventually becomes overloaded with energy from its companion and then bursts in what is called a Type A Supernova.

What else can I help you with?
What happens when sun dies out?
The earth will be dead way before the sun is dead, but if the sun dies, everything in the solar system is goning to be melted because of the explosion. But if the planets are not melted, they will be frozen for ever because there is no sun.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
What happens if the planets stops orbiting the sun?
The planets will fall into the sun and get destroyed.
Can you differentiate the outer planets from the inner planets?
The inner planets, which are closest to the Sun, are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe outer planets, which are farther away from the sun are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
What is the difference between planets and exoplanets?
Extra solar (or Exo) planets are planets that do not orbit the Sun. Planets in our solar system orbit the Sun.
What can be melted by the sun?
Anything can be melted by the sun it is really hot.
What happens when sun dies out?
The earth will be dead way before the sun is dead, but if the sun dies, everything in the solar system is goning to be melted because of the explosion. But if the planets are not melted, they will be frozen for ever because there is no sun.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
Where is the sun in relation to the planets?
The planets orbit the central sun.
What do the planets and the sun orbit?
the sun does not move, the planets orbit around the sun idiot.
What is a verb for melt?
melted as used in a sentence.. "The ice melted from the hot sun."
What is the name when planets travel around the sun?
Planets orbit the sun.
