No, the sun does not have enough mass to end its life in a supernova explosion. Instead, it will eventually expand into a red giant and then shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a small, dense core called a white dwarf. This process will happen in about 5 billion years.
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.
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.
The range of masses for a supernova typically falls between about 8 to 50 times the mass of the sun. When a star that massive runs out of nuclear fuel, it undergoes a catastrophic collapse resulting in a supernova explosion. Smaller stars may end their lives in a different type of explosion called a nova.
There is no way of knowing which star will next go "supernova".However, closer to home, Betelgeuse is the most likely to produce a supernova - within humanities 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.
Supernova
The energy output of a supernova explosion is equivalent to the energy produced by the sun over its entire lifetime.
big explosion :O the sun is too small a star for a supernova.
Many Supernova explosion is a result of a nebula the Nubula was the reason why we have a sun 5 billion years ago and today.

The stage missing in the chart is the supernova explosion. When a star ten times more massive than the sun reaches the end of its life cycle, it undergoes a supernova explosion, where the star's core collapses and then rebounds outward in a powerful explosion, leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole.
nuclear fusion in a massive star that ended its life in a supernova explosion.
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.
