It has already been predicted many times (all of which turn out to be wrong) Soon will happen in approximately 4,000,000,000 years - give or take a few millions.

Stars like the Sun do not explode, ever. Only bigger stars explode.
The worst the Sun will do is become gradually brighter over the next 4 or 5 billion years, then expand to a Red Giant. This will be very bad for the Earth, but we do have a few billion years to prepare. That's enough time for the human race to do itself in. Eventually, an intelligent, rational, mutually helpful organism will evolve and spread to other stars.

THE SUN IS NOT GOING TO EXPLODE! It is going to get bigger and bigger (hotter and hatter) and then it will become a dwaf star.
See there is this sun dial for the sun, it starts at 6:00 am, when the sun was born. Currently it is 10:36 am, at 11:30 am it will be to hot for humans to live on EARTH. The sun dial ends at 6:00 pm.

Not really ,
I also thought for sometime about this topic but scientist now say
that our neighboring galaxy Andromeda is moving in such a way that it will collide with our galaxy and the planets along with earth will be thrown into deeper space or into other dimension or completely get engulfed or destroyed in the explosion....
the sun wont get exploded because its mass is in the middle region of two states i.e sometimes it may explode like supernova or sometimes it may shrink.

Eventually the sun is going to explode, or "go supernova" as the astrophysicists are so fond of saying, but you won't be here by then (in fact humans will have long since colonized other planets by then, and no-one will be here!)
There are some great diagrams and info on the typical star's 'life cycle' at this link:

The Sun will explode, but not anytime soon. It's about halfway through its life cycle; we've got another 5 billion years or so. We'll probably manage to engineer our own extinction by then.

If the sun does explode, just move to Duluth. Everything happens 20 years later in Duluth.

not for the next 5billion years

Don't sweat it. If it does, there's nothing you can do about it. Just live your life.
