The Sun cannot explode. This has been known for nearly sixty years, thanks to the work of a University of Michigan astronomer named Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, part of the reason he got a Nobel Prize. The minimum mass for a star to explode is 4.2 solar masses. The Sun by definition is 1.0000 solar mass.
The Earth was formed around the same time as the Sun, perhaps a couple million years later.

The Sun will not explode. In about 4.5 billions years from now, as the Sun uses up it's energy, it will expand consuming the first three planets, which is Mercury, Venus, and Earth. It will then shrink to a dwarf star. I doubt very much that we will be alive to witness this event.

the earth was created some few million years after the sun was created
-
the sun will explode about 4.5 billion years from now when it runs out of fuel.
- we cant tell EXACTLY, but scientists have use multiple methods to find out how old the earth is. they have found rocks that are up to 3.9 billion years old through carbon dating, the accumulation of helium-4 in the earths atmosphere from radioactive decay
- i think they have also used light years from stars on the edge of our universe
