The Sun won't. The Sun is not large enough to become a super nova.

The Sun will not go nova. It does not have suffient mass for that to happen. The mass requirement is 5x that of the Sun, for a nova to occur for a star that is not a binary.

Our sun is not large enough to turn into a supernova. In about 5 billion years from now the sun will expand into a Red Giant star and then after several million years will contract into a White Dwarf star.

no, it's not that kind of star. there are three types of stars, blue is the biggest and hottest, yellow is in the middle (the sun) and red is the smallest and coolest of the three (but it's still hot). our sun, or star, is supposed to expand all the way out to mars, then shrink back to a white dwarf, and then turn into a black dwarf. dwarfs still have a lot of energy, whether it be black or not. so that's the future of our sun. it wont happen for a long time. that'll probably be Armaggedon or soemthing. maybe Armaggedon will already happen. who knows... :-D

in like 80,000,000 years or something... believe me, i think humans will either be extinct or the smartest life forms in all the world, before the sun goes nova.
