No, The sun is at the middle stages of its life. In another couple of million years, it will be come a red giant. When the sun becomes a red giant, it will start to expand and engulf Mercury and Venus. Earth will be inhabitable because of its enormous size and heat. Then, as it keeps expanding it will become a supergiant.
No, the definition of a supergiant is a star that has a diameter at least 100 times that of the sun and that is 100 to more than 10,000 times as bright.

∙ 13y agoNo, our Sun will never go nova or supernova; it isn't massive enough. However, when the Sun does go into its red giant phase in about 4 billion years, we will THINK that it has gone nova, and the effect on Earth will be about the same.
Unless we move the Earth further away, which we ought to be able to do by then.

∙ 13y agotechnically yes. but scientifically it is a flaming ball of gas. Normal stars can supernova (explode) without harm, but the sun would probably become a black hole and suck in the galaxy.

∙ 8y agoYes, at least in its surface temperatures. When a star becomes a giant or a supergiant its outer layers cool.

∙ 7y agoNo. The sun will not become a reg giant for about 5 billion stars. Right now the sun is a G-type main sequence star, sometimes known as a yellow dwarf.
