It simply isn't heavy enough. For a star to become a black hole it has to be heavy enough that it's mass is compressed into a sphere with a smaller radius than a certain value, called the Schwarschild radius. Our sun, (Sol) doesn't possess enough matter.

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.


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.


Will the sun ever become a black hole?

Our Sun will never become a black hole. It does not have enough mass and thus pressure to initial the sequences required to form a black hole. In about 5 billion years time, our Sun will slowly expand into a red giant, a billion years later it will shed it's outer envelope leaving nothing more that a very hot white dwarf about the size of the Earth. Not that we will be around to see it.


A star the size of your sun will never be a blackhole?

That is correct. A star the size of our Sun will not form a black hole when it dies. Instead, it will likely become a white dwarf. Black holes are typically formed from the remnants of more massive stars.


Why would the sun never become a black hole?

In the course of normal stellar evolution, at end of its life the Sun wouldn't spontaneously become a black hole simply because it lacks sufficient mass. The minimum mass of a stellar black hole would be about 25 times that of our Sun; effects through which stars lose mass would also need to be considered.


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.


What will never happen to the sun?

The sun will never stop shining due to the nuclear reactions happening in its core. Additionally, it will never be extinguished abruptly as it will gradually expand into a red giant and eventually turn into a white dwarf over billions of years.


What is the mean when sun become black?

an eclipse


Why will the Sun will eventually become a black hole?

it wont.


What type of star is most likely to form a black whole?

That would be "black hole". This is most likely to happen when the original star is very massive - several times the mass of the Sun. A star of the Sun's mass will definitely NOT become a black hole, unless it somehow acquires much more mass.


Why will your sun not become a black hole?

It isn't big enough.
