The Sun is an averaged size star so it doesn't have enough mass to explode. Instead it reheats and expands into a red giant, so earth will be vaporized within the sun! Oh yeah and don't freak out, it's not going to happen within 5 billion years. Plenty of time to get that degree and a good job, and to raise a family. In four billion years 4,000,000,000 Roughly 4-5 billion years but the Sun will not go dark for roughly 20-30 billion years.
Although the Sun will continue to shine for billions of years Earth will be uninhabitable in roughly 1 billion years this is because as the Sun ages it gets hotter and brighter and in about 1 billion years the temp on Earth will be too hot for liquid water to exist on the surface.

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.
Are you sure the sun will explode in millions of years?
It is predicted that the sun will not actually explode, but rather expand into a red giant and eventually shed its outer layers, forming a planetary nebula. This process will occur in approximately 5 billion years.
How long until the sun Explodes?
The sun will not explode. It will eventually go through a phase where it expands into a red giant and then shed its outer layers to become a white dwarf. This process will happen in about 5 billion years.
Will the sun explode?
No, the sun will not explode. It is currently in the main sequence phase of its life cycle, converting hydrogen to helium through nuclear fusion. Eventually, it will expand into a red giant and then shrink into a white dwarf.
Will the sun implode or explode?
The sun will eventually expand into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and forming a planetary nebula, leaving behind a cooling remnant known as a white dwarf. It will not implode or explode in the traditional sense.
