No. Our sun is to small to become a supernova. It will become a red giant and then turn into a white dwarf. This will take billions of years to occur. The sun is 5 billion years old. It will take another 5 billion years before this happens. So first of all it never will go supernova and the only change major change in the sun will be in 5,000,000,000 years. Long after your gone. you may be thinking of the solar cycle where the sun will be start a solar maximum in 2012 when more sunspots will occur but besides that you'll never notice unless your an astronomer.

When will the sun be supernova?

Never. A star must be about 10 times the mass of the sun or more to go supernova.


What will happen if the sun gone supernova?

The Sun won't go supernova (it isn't massive enough) so the question has no real answer!


Is it possible for the Sun to go supernova?

no. it is not large enough.


When is the stage when the sun go into dying?

The sun will probably go into its supernova within the next 5 billion years.


Why will the sun never explode in a supernova?

The Sun is not massive enough to undergo a supernova explosion. A supernova occurs when a massive star runs out of fuel, collapses under its own gravity, and then explodes. The Sun is not massive enough to go through this process and will instead eventually evolve into a red giant and then into a white dwarf.


Is there a difference between 2012 and 2012 supernova?

2012 is an origanal movie but 2012 supernova is fake


When will the milkey ways sun go super nova?

Our sun is to small to go super nova.Super nova's happen when a star explodes. For a super nova, the star has to be atleast 5x bigger then our sun.When our sun explodes, you would just see HUGE FIREWORKS.


How likely is it that a sun will become a supernova?

Our sun is not massive enough to supernova. Our sun will die in a different manner, but certainly not in 2012. The process of our sun's death will be very slow. Right now, the sun is what they call a "main sequence" star and is in the most stable stage of it's life and will be for quite some time. See related question.


When willthe sun explode?

Never. The sun is not massive enough to go supernova. It will die gradually in 5to 7 billion years.


What would happen if a lump of iron was hurled into the sun?

It will just melt into the sun, not big enough to make it instantly go supernova.


Will our sun go supernova and become a black hole?

No. It is not massive enough. A star generally has to be at least 8 times the mass of the sun to go supernova and only stars 25 times the mass of the sun or more can form black holes. When the sun dies it will shed its outer layers in a series of gradual pulses and leave behind a white dwarf as a remnant.


What is the order from smallest to largest sun supernova red giant white dwarf?

White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
