Not really.
It'll just inflate into a red giant, helium flash, then reduce to a white dwarf. No explosions involved, unless you consider a helium flash to be an explosion (most astronomers don't).
melon said:It should consume the Earth in the process of becoming a red giant, but there is actually a 1 in 100,000 chance that, between now and 5 billion years from now, a passing star could shoot us out of our orbit into the oblivion of space, so the Earth will continue to exist. Everything will just freeze to death.
Anyway, before that happens, we'll all probably boil to death 1 billion years from now, when it's projected the Sun will get too hot.
