If the sun suddenly became a black hole ... without any change in its mass ... then,
first of all, we wouldn't know about it for about 8 minutes. After that time passed,
the daytime side of the Earth would suddenly go dark, and wherever the moon
happened to be at the time, it would also disappear from view, since there would
no longer be any light shining on it. Similarly, anybody watching any of the planets
or asteroids at the time would see them disappear from view one at a time ... the
nearer ones first, then the farther ones. After that, nothing much would change
for a while ... it would just stay dark everywhere on Earth. But after a short time,
we would begin to notice that it was definitely getting chilly, and that would be the
thing that would pretty much tell us that 'this is it'. We might prolong the agony for
a while by staying inside shelter and burning our fuel supply for heat and light, but
that couldn't last very long. With no sunlight to grow any food or to maintain a
survivable environment, it would be 'curtains' sooner or later.
If you expected some gory description of getting sucked into the hole and dying,
there's no reason to think that. The black hole has some mass, just like it had
when it was a shining star. The Earth is still in orbit around it, and there's no
reason for any of that to change. Black holes don't reach out and grab things.

What will never happen to the sun?
Our Sun will never become a supernova or a black hole; it doesn't have NEARLY enough mass for that.
Why will the Sun will eventually become a black hole?
it wont.
When will our sun turn into a black hole?
It probably won't ever become a black hole, unless for some reason a lot of additional matter falls on the Sun. Stars the mass of our Sun become white dwarves after they run out of fuel.
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
Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
What will never happen to the sun?
Our Sun will never become a supernova or a black hole; it doesn't have NEARLY enough mass for that.
Will the sun become a black hole one day?
No. The sun does not have enough mass to become a black hole. When the sun dies it will become a white dwarf.
What will happen if the sun will lost its fuel?
After the sun runs out of fuel is will become a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
Why is the sun considred a black hole?
First of all, our sun can not become a black hole, it is too small for that. However if a star is three times bigger than our sun, then yes it will become a black hole.
How long will it take for the sun to become a black hole?
The sun should not become a black hole. It does not have sufficient mass to undergo the necessary collapse.
Why does the sun's energy form a black hole?
The sun's energy has not formed a black hole.
Why will the Sun will eventually become a black hole?
it wont.
When will our sun turn into a black hole?
It probably won't ever become a black hole, unless for some reason a lot of additional matter falls on the Sun. Stars the mass of our Sun become white dwarves after they run out of fuel.
Why will your sun not become a black hole?
It isn't big enough.
Will sun become a black hole at the end of life?
no it is to small
Is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole because?
Our Sun is not nearly massive enough to become a black hole, or even a neutron star. Our Sun will end its life as a white dwarf.
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
