Why did the sun turn black?

Our Sun has been highly luminous for billions of years. It would be very difficult to halt the energy-producing processes in the core and make it "turn black". Even after the fuel is exhausted, our Sun won't become a black hole because it lacks the mass - likely after a red giant stage it will eventually shrink to a white dwarf and remain luminous in that state for a very long time indeed before going dark.

Is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

No, the sun is too small. For a star to turn into a black hole, the star needs to measure 25 or more solar masses. The sun weighs in at 1 solar mass. Therefore, a star needs to be 25 times the mass of the sun to turn into a black hole.


Can the sun turn black hair dark brown?

no


Is there a possibility the sun could go super nova or turn into a black hole?

No. Our Sun isn't massive enough to go supernova, or to turn into a black hole. A star needs to be more than 3 times more massive than our Sun in order to become a black hole.


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.


It is impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole because?

The Sun doesn't have enough mass, and therefore, not enough gravity, for this to happen.


Why would black hair slowly turn brown?

The sun might lighten your hair.


What determines if the sun will turn into a black hole?

The Sun probably won't turn into a black hole. What determines whether a certain star becomes a black hole is basically the amount of mass left over, once the star runs out of energy. Less massive stars turn into white dwarves; more massive stars into neutron stars; and the most massive of all, into black holes.


When will the sun stop burning?

[THEORY] Scientist believe that the sun will stop burning and turn into a black hole in 5 billion years.


Its impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole because?

It is unlikely, because the Sun doesn't have enough mass for that to happen.


What are the chances that the sun will turn into a blackhole?

Absolutely zero. Our Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova and it is those details that are required to make a black hole.


How is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

The sun cannot become a black hole. For a star to form a black hole it must be at least 25 times the mass of the sun. When a star like this runs out of fuel in its core, the core collapses and becomes a a black hole while the outer layers are blasted away in a supernova.


After a billion year the sun will explode?

No, and the Sun will never explode because: it isn't big enough. It will turn into a red giant , then a white dwarf and then the black dwarf
