No we won't survive, but it cannot happen to our sun.

If we are still living on Earth when the Sun is going to blow up to become a Red Giant (by the way, the Sun will never turn supernova because its mass is too small for that) we have no chances whatsoever to survive that. But don't worry, this won't happen before 5 billion years from now!

Our sun is too small, or has too little mass to go supernova if I remember correctly. What DOES happen is that it will turn into a red giant (first stage), which will vaporize the Earth, after which it will fall in on itself and be turned into a white dwarf.
If the sun went supernova (hypothetically), the earth would be blasted into bits if the explosion was powerfull enough to reach earth (which is not a very interesting statement in itself)

The sun is too small for a supernova but I guess humans can't survive unless they somehow leave the solar system or move the Earth.

Onlt if they're living out in the Cosmos. If a star within 4 light years of earth went Supernova it would wipe out life on earth. Consider that the Sun is only 8 light minutes from earth.

Yellow dwarf stars like out sun do not go supernova. There is not enough hydrogen to set one off. But since you're speaking hypothetically, no, we would not survive. The Earth would be vaporized in nanoseconds.

the sun is very small star and cannot go supernova. as u r speaking hypothetically, the earth will be vaporised in a few milliseconds and we will be extinct.
in reality, the sun will first turn into a red big giant and then into a white dwarf and that will end the cycle of the sun...........
i think that has the aswer to ur question....thank u

Nope, not everywhere interior of reach. A supernova places out approximately 10^11 cases as a lot skill as a results of fact the sunlight. Radiated skill is inversely proportional to the sq. of your distance from the source. So in case you have been 10^5.5 cases our distance from the sunlight, it somewhat is 3 hundred 000 cases one hundred fifty million km, or 40 5 million million km from the sunlight; appropriate to the area to Alpha Centauri, the supernova might zap you with approximately as a lot warmth as a results of fact the sunlight does now. so which you will possibly would desire to be a minimum of four easy years away to proceed to exist till you have been o.k. shielded, like being on the choice fringe of a planet without environment.

Not if we are still living on Earth. But (hypothetically) if we had settled other solar systems, people in those other solar systems could survive.

No, but its not physically possible anyway.
Only giant stars can go supernova.
