Its not big enough. You have to have a certain amount of mass to end as a supernova.

∙ 14y agoA sun can only go supernova if it has 1.4 or greater the mass of the Sun. An Indian astrophysicist named Chandrasekhar figured this out and its called the Chandrasekhar limit in his honor.

Can a star less massive then the sun become a supernova?
Any stars less massive than our sun do not explode in a supernova. They will slowly cool down and burn out forming an "ember" (a.k.a. white dwarf).
What is the most likely fate of star with a mass 8 times that of the sun?
A star 8 times the mass of the sun will most likely explode in a supernova.
What will never happen to the sun?
Our Sun will never become a supernova or a black hole; it doesn't have NEARLY enough mass for that.
When will the milkey ways sun go super nova?
Our sun is to small to go super nova.Super nova's happen when a star explodes. For a super nova, the star has to be atleast 5x bigger then our sun.When our sun explodes, you would just see HUGE FIREWORKS.
How long does a supernova explode?
The initial explosion is over in seconds
When willthe sun explode?
Never. The sun is not massive enough to go supernova. It will die gradually in 5to 7 billion years.
When will the sun be supernova?
Never. A star must be about 10 times the mass of the sun or more to go supernova.
What would happen if the sun went supernova?
we would explode and if there were survivors they would freeze to death
Is a solar flare when the sun explodes?
No, the Sun gives off radiation that can travel in space. The Sun will only explode when it goes through the stage of supernova.
Can a star less massive then the sun become a supernova?
Any stars less massive than our sun do not explode in a supernova. They will slowly cool down and burn out forming an "ember" (a.k.a. white dwarf).
What is the most likely fate of star with a mass 8 times that of the sun?
A star 8 times the mass of the sun will most likely explode in a supernova.
What are the chances that the sun will turn into a blackhole?
Absolutely zero. Our Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova and it is those details that are required to make a black hole.
What will never happen to the sun?
Our Sun will never become a supernova or a black hole; it doesn't have NEARLY enough mass for that.
When the sun is go explode?
never in our time
When will the milkey ways sun go super nova?
Our sun is to small to go super nova.Super nova's happen when a star explodes. For a super nova, the star has to be atleast 5x bigger then our sun.When our sun explodes, you would just see HUGE FIREWORKS.
What will be the effect if the sun suddenly explode?
If the Sun were to explode billions of years from now, it would wipe out the entire Solar System, planets and all. The Sun may never explode, however, due to its size.
Do all-stars exploded?
Percentage wise. Most stars do not explode. Only about 1 in 3 million will explode as a supernova. The rest, like our Sun will just die quietly and become white dwarfs.
