For the sun to nova its mass would need to exceed the Chandra limit, 1.4 solar masses. Our sun is therefore obviously too small. For a supernova the sun would have to be even heavier yet.

Our sun will expand into a red giant, beginning roughly four billion years from now. It will not, however, explode. Not even if we dropped the planets into it.

When is the north star going to explode?

Please note that Polaris is a multiple star. The brightest component, Polaris A, is a supergiant, so it may not live much longer... at least in astronomical terms. Like any supergiant, it will probably run out of fuel some time within the next few million years. After that, it will explode as a supernova.
