The closest known black hole is at a distance of about 3000 light-years. And no, there is no immediate risk.

Is a blackhole going to suck up the earth?

It cannot be known if the earth will ever be destroyed by a blackhole. Certainly our sun could never become one as it does not have sufficient mass. Since the sun is a star. As some stars do when they die, they could turn into a blackhole. So the sun, when it dies, could possibly turn into a blackhole.


What happens if there is a hole in ozone layer?

The hole in the ozone layer is a natural occurance. It increases the risk of nothing. That the hole gets bigger is a symptom of depletion of the ozone layer in general. Depletion increases the risk of skin cancer, cataracts, mutation, crop loss, and loss of arable land.


How many split seconds does it take for a black hole to rip your body apart?

If you had the misfortune of being near a smaller black hole, it could take only a fraction of a split second to rip you apart! Good thing there's little risk of that happening any time soon.


If you get to close a blackhole can it give cancier?

Very close to the black hole you have very little worry about Cancer. After you pass a certain place, you won't have the power to escape it and in an increasingly faster and faster manner you will get pulled into the black hole. At certain distances from the black hole, you and bunches or rock and plasma and ice will start being compressed together, as the mess (you and everything else approaching the black hole) becomes more and more compressed ...think tomato to tomato soup to a single super-compressed droplet. Cancer? Try cooked, diced, sliced, baked and pureed. Getting close to a living star is much more of a Cancer risk than a dying one (black hole.)

Is there any risk of running into a black hole?

Running into a black hole is practically impossible because the nearest black hole or soon-to-be-black hole is about like millions of light years away and black holes can only attract things from a few billion km away. You may think that's a lot but believe me, a million light years is way more than a billion km.

What will happen if an astronaut stays too long on a planet?

if its a planet like earth, nothing much. if its the moon or another planet, risk of dying from running out of supply, or get a hole in a spacesuit,hole in spacecraft or home in there house. also may be a risk of micro gravity on the person that's waiting for the people on the moon in space.

How can black holes affect your solar system?

It is not likely that any black hole gets near the Solar System in the short term - "short term" meaning, the next few million years at the very least. In the unlikely event that a black hole does get into the Solar System, I would guess that the greatest risk is that it disrupts the orbits of planets - perhaps even flinging planets out of the Solar System.
