Yes and No. It all depends how near you are to it. A supernova can explode with as much energy as our Sun puts out in it's entire life time. (About 10 trillion of the most powerful hydrogen bombs).
However, if you stay on Earth, you will be perfectly safe, as our Sun will not become a supernova.

What is the meaning of a neutron star?
A neutron star is the remnant of a supernova explosion. Such stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons.A typical neutron star has a mass between 1.35 and about 2.1 solar masses, with a corresponding radius of about 12 kmA neutron star is so dense that one teaspoon (5 millilitres) of its material would have a mass over 5 trillion kg. The force of gravity is so strong that an object falling from just one meter high would take a microsecond to hit the surface but at around 2,000 kilometres per second, or 4.3 million miles per hour.
What is a single point where all matter from an extremely massive neutron star has condensed and from which no light can escape?
Black hole
A neutron star that rotates rapidly and emits light?
It's called a pulsar. However - ALL young neutron stars emit the said beam. It's only if that beam is detectable on Earth is it called a pulsar. So a Neutron Star and a Pulsar are the same thing. See related questions. but then again they are different.
What is the origin of the element of gold?
All the gold that exists on the Earth can only be formed by a nuclear reaction. These nuclear reactions occurred in an exploding star (called a supernova) before the Earth itself existed. Most gold, however, is thought to have originated during collisions of neutron stars due to gold's neutron rich make-up as well as the known energy levels needed to create it. This may help to explain its rarity since neutron star collisions are rare. The cloud of gas and dust from supernovas and neutron star collisions contained all the elements that are present on earth today. This cloud eventually condensed into the Sun and the Solar System.
The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?
The neutron.
How far is the nearest neutron star?
The nearest neutron star to us is called an unremarkable PSR J0108-1431. It is located about 424 light years from us in the constellation Cetus.
Is a red giant star denser than a neutron star?
A neutron star is the densest object known to us. (Apart from a black hole). See related question.
What is a sentence for neutron star?
Good sentence for neutron star - WOW ! see that;s a neutron star !!
What is a good sentence for neutron star?
Good sentence for neutron star - WOW ! see that;s a neutron star !!
What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
Is the neutron star a young star?
No. A neutron star ts the remnant of a massive star that exploded.
What remains after supernova?
A neutron star or a pulsar, or a black hole.
How does a neutron star differ from a main sequence star?
A neutron star is a stellar remnant
What do you mean when you say every pulsar is a neutron star but not every neutron star is a pulsar?
All "pulsars" are neutron stars - it's just "we" term pulsars as neutron stars who's orientation towards us shows the beam of electromagnetic radiation. Other neutron stars who's orientation, do not point towards us are not called pulsars, although they exhibit the same characteristics.
What is spinning neutron star called?
It is still called a neutron star. Depending on how we observe it, it may also be called a pulsar.
When a collapsed core becomes so dense only neutrons can exist there a what is formed?
A Neutron Star
What is A rapidly spinning neutron is called?
A young neutron star. Really - that is what a neutron star is. If the neutron star's magnetic field is pointed towards Earth, then it is referred to as a pulsar - because of it's rapid pulsations [See related question] but it is still a neutron star.
