      The sun is already exploding!

      And that is a good thing because the energy of the sun exploding is what has allowed life on our planet!

      If by exploding you mean to disappear, then the answer is no. The sun will keep exploding for around 5 500 000 000 years and then start cooling. Check https://youtu.be/hZJnMv5Ae8g if you want to learn more.
