Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Even if a black hole the same mass as the sun were to take the place of the sun, Earth still would not fall in. The black hole would have the same gravity as the sun. Earth and the other planets would orbit the black hole as they orbit the sun now.
Detailed explanation-3: -No. Stars like the Sun just aren’t massive enough to become black holes.
Detailed explanation-4: -If you leapt heroically into a stellar-mass black hole, your body would be subjected to a process called ‘spaghettification’ (no, really, it is). The black hole’s gravity force would compress you from top to toe, while stretching you at the same time… thus, spaghetti.
Detailed explanation-5: -Destruction of planets would take place, because of the sudden loss of the sun’s gravitational pull. Planets, including Earth, would begin moving away from their usual paths and could collide with other gigantic bodies, leading to their destruction.
