It would depend on how far away it was and what size it was, lets say it was about 600 kilometers away from Earth and was about 200 kilometers in Diameter, we would probably be experiencing either massive weather differences and would be pulled out of orbit and even most likely sucked into the black hole!
(added by john) Black holes are objects whose gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape the gravitational pull. The powerful gravity is the result of extreme density. Imagine squeezing New York City into a teacup. That's the sort of density in a black hole.
Since light cannot escape from a black hole, we see nothing when we look at where we think a black hole exists. We suspect the existence of black holes when we see gravitational effects they cause
If there is a planet anywhere near a black hole, it will be pulled in and destroyed by the hole's intense gravational pull.
Yes, that's where they are. A black hole on Earth would utterly destroy the Earth, in a very short time.The existence of black holes is now generally accepted, by the way.
Never. A black hole on the Earth would destroy it completely.
Black holes are black holes - they are totally different from anything else in the universe. Most black holes are formed from the collapsed cores of dead stars. There are supermassive black holes in most galaxies, but it is no known how they formed.
Nope.. Light always travels at the same speed. However, black holes do affect the trajectory of the photons, hense diverting the direction of the light.
I can't comprehend how suction would work in a vacuum :-) Black Holes' use their gravitational force to pull matter into them.
Black holes are outside the confines of both the Earth and the Solar System, the passing of our year does not affect when they form.
The existence of miniature black holes have not been confirmed yet. It has been hypothesized that there may be some, that formed during the Big Bang. If they did form, we might see flashes from the disintegration of those black holes, now and then. (A miniature black hole takes much less time to disintegrate than a bigger one.)The existence of miniature black holes have not been confirmed yet.

No. The nearest black holes to Earth are many light years away, much to far to affect us.
Black holes does emit radiation, but they cannot be detected from earth. We use gravitational lensing to "see" the black holes.
Earth is a planet. Center's of galaxies sometimes contain black holes. Planets can't be black holes.

No - at least no black holes as defined by physics.
No. Earth was formed by the accretion of material in the protoplanetary disk around the newly formed sun. Black holes were not involved.
The Earth has never been endangered or harmed by a black hole, and chances are, never will be.
No
Black holes could be dangerous to people if people were close to a black hole, but there are no black holes near the planet Earth (as far as we know) and the closest one is probably in the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which is about 80,000 light years from Earth, which is a safe distance.
Black holes affect humans in 2 ways: 1. By stretching them to the width of one atom (spaghettification) 2. By converting them into energy (mostly in the form of X-rays)
