No, our Sun is not a supergiant; it is classified as a G-type main-sequence star (G dwarf). Supergiants are much larger and more luminous than the Sun, typically found in later stages of stellar evolution. The Sun is in the middle of its life cycle and is expected to evolve into a red giant in about 5 billion years, but it will never reach the supergiant stage.
