Our Sun will never become a black hole. It does not have enough mass and thus pressure to initial the sequences required to form a black hole.

In about 5 billion years time, our Sun will slowly expand into a red giant, a billion years later it will shed it's outer envelope leaving nothing more that a very hot white dwarf about the size of the Earth. Not that we will be around to see it.

The Sun of this solar system should not become a black hole as it is too small. Only much larger stars are likely to become black holes. The Sun will more likely expand into a red giant.

No, because in order for a sun to become a black hole it must be eight times larger then our Sun.

Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?

No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.


Why it is impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

Simply put, it isn't big enough. A star must have a certain mass to become a black hole after its "death", and the Sun doesn't have enough. Our "Sun" is not big enough, only stars that are a lot bigger will explode and become a black hole.
