Single stars, like the Sun, are not believed to ever explode. But double stars can interact with each other to make one of them explode. Basically by one star dumping a bunch of mass into the other one.

Massive stars explode when they run out of elements to fuse.
They burn their fuel starting at hydrogen producing energy to maintain their star status.
When they only have iron left they are unable extract energy from it and they collapse.
The collapse results in a gigantic explosion that we call a super nova.
This explosion is the precursor to a solar system like ours.

Throughout most of their lifetimes, stars are balanced between their gravity trying to make them collapse in on themselves, and their temperature trying to blow them apart. When a very large star runs out of fuel to maintain its high temperature, gravity takes over and the star suddenly collapses in on itself. Most of the star's material is compressed so much that it finally explodes outward in a great event called a supernova.
