What would happen to the earth if the Sun was a black hole?

Well, the black-hole-Sun will not be giving out any light or heat, so prepare for miserable existence in freezing cold and pitch black environment. You will not be able to see the Moon and our neighbor planets on the permanently dark sky anymore, only stars.

What would happen to the earth if the Sun was replaced by a black hole of the same mass?

If our Sun was suddenly replaced with a black hole of the same mass, Earth’s orbit around the Sun would be unchanged. Of course, Earth’s temperature would change, and there would be no solar wind or solar magnetic storms affecting us. To be “sucked” into a black hole, one has to cross inside the Schwarzschild radius.

Will a black hole suck up the earth in the rest of the solar system?

The fact of the matter is that black holes aren’t sucking anything in; there’s no force that a black hole exerts that a normal object (like a moon, planet, or star) doesn’t exert. In the end, it’s all just gravity.

Can Sun be a black hole?

No. Stars like the Sun just aren’t massive enough to become black holes. Instead, in several billion years, the Sun will cast off its outer layers, and its core will form a white dwarf – a dense ball of carbon and oxygen that no longer produces nuclear energy, but that shines because it is very hot.

What happens if our Sun suddenly becomes a black hole?

The Sun will never turn into a black hole because it is not massive enough to explode. But if, hypothetically, the Sun suddenly became a black hole with the same mass as it has today, this would not affect the orbits of the planets, because its gravitational influence on the solar system would be the same.

Why will the sun will eventually become a black hole?

The short answer is no – the Sun will not become a Black Hole. This is because, as a Star, the Sun is too small and does not generate enough gravitational pull to cause this kind of astronomical event. It is Stars much larger than the Sun that explode as a Supernova which leave behind Neutron Stars or a Black Hole.

Can your sun ever turn into a black hole?

No, our Sun is much too small to become a black hole. As it exhausts its hydrogen fuel, our Sun will start burning helium, swell in size and briefly become a red giant (giant in size, though not in mass), probably exceeding the size of the orbit of Venus.

Is our Sun big enough to form a black hole?

Only stars with very large masses can become black holes. Our Sun, for example, is not massive enough to become a black hole. Four billion years from now when the Sun runs out of the available nuclear fuel in its core, our Sun will die a quiet death.
