It is extremely unlikely. It would have to gain at least another 6 times its current mass to have the chance, and given the lack of that amount of mass nearby it probably won't happen.
Oh, look at that beautiful sun! The sun isn't a supernova. It's actually a star that's still very alive and shining bright in the sky, bringing us warmth and light. Keep asking questions and exploring, just like the sun keeps shining on us every day.
No, our sun will not go supernova in the future. It is not massive enough to undergo a supernova explosion. Instead, it will eventually expand into a red giant and then shed its outer layers to become a white dwarf.
After a red giant phase, a star will undergo further evolutionary stages depending on its mass. A low-mass star like the Sun will evolve into a planetary nebula and then eventually into a white dwarf. A high-mass star will undergo a supernova explosion, leading to the formation of a neutron star or black hole.

Most do not. Stars about 10 times more massive than the sun or larger will explode. Smaller stars shed their outer layers gradually.
Supernova
Our Sun is not massive enough to end in a supernova explosion. When it nears the end of its life, it will shed its outer layers as a planetary nebula and eventually collapse into a white dwarf. Supernova explosions typically occur in massive stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and undergo a catastrophic collapse.
The energy output of a supernova explosion is equivalent to the energy produced by the sun over its entire lifetime.
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.
big explosion :O the sun is too small a star for a supernova.
Yes, a star with a mass 10 times greater than the sun can produce a supernova. When massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, they undergo a catastrophic explosion called a supernova, leading to the collapse of the star's core and the ejection of its outer layers into space.
The Sun does not have the mass to go nova or supernova, or become a black hole. Instead, in about 5 billion years, it will become a red giant, consuming the four inner planets. including Earth.
Our Sun cannot, we believe, turn into a black hole. The Sun has too little mass to undergo the supernova explosion that would crush the core of the star into a black hole. However, sometime "soon" (and in astronomy, "soon" could be anywhere within the next ten thousand years) we expect the red giant star Betegeuse to die just that way; a supernova explosion that will light up our sky like a second full moon, that will crush the core of the star into a black hole.
A star must have at least 8 times the mass of the Sun in order to undergo a supernova explosion at the end of its life cycle. This is because stars need to have enough mass to generate the tremendous pressure and temperature required for a supernova to occur.
If the Sun were to undergo a supernova event, it would result in the complete destruction of the Sun, leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on its mass. The explosion would release an immense amount of energy and radiation, potentially causing significant damage to Earth and any nearby celestial bodies. However, the Sun is not massive enough to end its life cycle in a supernova; it will eventually become a white dwarf.
No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.
No, stars less massive than the Sun do not have enough mass to undergo a supernova explosion. Instead, they may end their lives as a white dwarf or, if they are even less massive, a planetary nebula. Supernovae are events associated with more massive stars.
