It depends on how big the black hole is. If the black hole is small enough it will evaporate into nothingness before it could have any effect on the Sun. However if the black hole didn't evaporate, and if it fell into the Sun, the entire Sun would gradually fall into the black hole.

In a sense - Yes; a sun can be overtly attracted into a black hole's gravitational field of influence. However the wording of this question reflects another inappropriate use of an anthropomorphic analogy; i.e. black holes do not consume suns. Such misleading imagry presents and inaccurate perspective of cosmological interactions.

Note: What has be observed is that the active gaseous matter of a star is being slowly stretched and compacted as it is pulled into a black hole. The anthropomorphic analogy is that the black hole is sucking the matter from the star.

Most likely a black hole could not affect our Sun because our Sun is the only star near us. For many of millions of miles there are other stars, but, say if our Sun were to explode, it would not create a black hole because of the small size. Only the larger stars create black holes when they die. so our sun would most likely not be affected by a black hole somewhere out in the reaches of space.

If it gets close enough to the sun, a black hole would be able to consume it. However, you don't need to fear this possibility, since the nearest black hole - V4641 Sagittarius - is 1600 light years away.

The Sun could - if a black hole stayed too close to the Sun.

However, the Sun will not be sucked. The closest black hole is about 1,600 light years away.

Yes. Such things can and do happen. Of course, the sun/star must get close enough to the black hole in the first place.

How big would the sun be if it was a black hole?

Firstly our sun is too small to become a black hole. Only stars that are a million to a billion times our sun do this, because they burn through their fuel quickly, unlike our sun. A typical black hole has 3 times the mass of our sun


Can the sun form a black hole and take earth to another galaxy If yes how I no why not?

No. The sun does not have enough mass to form a black hole. A black hole does not lead to another galaxy. Anything pulled into a black hole becomes part of that black hole's mass. Even then, if Earth were to fall into a black hole the same mass as the sun it would be torn apart by tidal forces long before it crossed the event horizon.
