The sun will  destroy the earth in the year 60472 AD when it goes supernova and explodes, it may however increase in activity and turn the Earth into a molten planetary object, devoid of all life as we know it by 2062.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Sun is still in its middle age. It will die about 5 billion years from now. Also, it is a middle sized yellow star, so it won't go supernova. It will just expand till it reaches earth's orbit and then evaporate. It's core will remain as a white dwarf.

Sun is still in its middle age. It will die about 50 billion years from now. Also, it is a middle sized yellow star, so it won't go supernova. It will just expand till it reaches earth's orbit and then evaporate. It's core will remain as a white dwarf.

Yes, that will be better. Sun lies in main sequence of Hertzsprung-russell diagram in the yellow spectrum. Average life of such stars is 10 billion years. Sun has completed it's half life. Edited by beaku

5 billion years is a lot. Earth will probably be destroyed by an asteroid much before. We will find a new planet to live on.
