No, Mercury is too close to the sun and would be vaporized in the event of a supernova. The extreme heat and radiation from a supernova would completely destroy the planet.
Me I would have to say supernova
A supernova is an exploding star. The Earth would be instantly incinerated, of course. There is approximately zero chance this will ever happen, though. If there was a supernova near Earth ... it would depend on how near. Betelgeuse is a good candidate for a supernova "soon" (within the next million years or so). Scientists who have modeled supernova explosions don't expect it will have much of an impact. If a star nearer than Betelgeuse were to go supernova, then it might be more serious.
your mom would be the correct answer.
we would explode and if there were survivors they would freeze to death
It would supernova.
Many people would have observed the Supernova, however it's discovery was attributed to Tycho Brahe. That's why it is called "Tycho's supernova".
They will end up as neutron stars or even black holes. Usually they will first explode as a supernova (of type1a).
the whole solar system
It wouldn't and couldn't
A safe distance from a supernova explosion would be millions of light-years away. The energy and radiation emitted during a supernova event are extremely powerful and can have destructive effects on planets and other celestial bodies nearby.
Elements present in a star just before it forms a supernova would include hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, and iron. The star undergoes nuclear fusion to produce heavier elements in its core, leading to the buildup of iron which triggers the supernova explosion.
