SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun would need to be about 20 times more massive to end its life as a black hole. Stars that are born this size or larger can explode into a supernova at the end of their lifetimes before collapsing back into a black hole, an object with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the Sun was replaced with a black hole that had the same mass as the Sun, the Schwarzschild radius would be 3 km (compared to the Sun’s radius of nearly 700, 000 km). Hence the Earth would have to get very close to get sucked into a black hole at the center of our Solar System.

Detailed explanation-3: -These theoretical black holes could range from less massive than a paperclip to tens of thousands of times the mass of the Sun.) At the center of a black hole is believed to be an infinite gravitational well in the fabric of spacetime, called a gravitational singularity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Contrary to popular belief, the Solar System would not be sucked in: a solar-mass black hole would exert no more gravitational pull than our Sun. As this computer simulation shows, the planets would actually continue on in their orbits as if nothing had happened.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Sun won’t become a black dwarf for trillions of years, and even the oldest white dwarfs have not had time to cool enough to become black dwarfs yet. Q: When will the Sun become a black dwarf? Black dwarfs are the very last stage of Sun-like stars.

Detailed explanation-6: -Will the Sun Ever Turn Into a Black Hole? The sun does not have enough mass to collapse into a black hole. In billions of years, when the sun is at the end of its life, it will become a red giant star.
