Supernovae can occur at varying distances from the Sun, ranging from hundreds to thousands of light-years away. When a supernova occurs within our Milky Way galaxy, it can typically be tens to hundreds of light-years away. However, there are some exceptionally bright supernovae that can be observed even at greater distances.
The sun is not big enough to supernova. It's not even big enough to nova. The fate of the sun is a Red giant, a white dwarf then a black dwarf. Therefore we don't need to worry about the sun becoming a supernova. We need to worry about the sun expand to the size where it touches Jupiter.
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.
Our Sun is currently a main sequence star. It is not a supernova, as supernovae are massive explosions that occur at the end of a star's life cycle, and it is not a white dwarf, which is a type of star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed to a very dense state.
Most stars are dimmer than our sun (intrinsic brightness), and thus we cannot see them. However, most of the stars that we can see are actually quite a bit brighter than our sun. Some of them are exceedingly bright.
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.
It could. it depends on the condidtion. Yes it could but after the sun goes supernova it has a chance of turning into a black hole.
Never. A star must be about 10 times the mass of the sun or more to go supernova.
The Sun won't go supernova (it isn't massive enough) so the question has no real answer!
White Dwarf, Sun, Red Giant, Supernova
Oh, sure. The Sun is a Supernova. That's why we're all sitting here burning to death.
A supernova is much larger and brighter than a regular, stable star like our sun. During a supernova event, the star can briefly outshine an entire galaxy before fading away. The process of a supernova represents the violent death of a massive star.

Yes by a large factor. A supernova can be 10 light years across. Our Sun is a mere 4.6 light seconds across
