You can rest easy tonight; our sun is not massive enough to form a black hole. If it did become one, however, we would still orbit around it, at least for a while. When a star becomes a black hole it doesn't increase in mass. The star's huge mass is compressed into a smaller area. We wouldn't have sunlight any more, but we would probably be bombarded with all kinds of radiation generated by materials being pulled into the black hole.

What would happen if a nuclear warhead exploded in the ozone?

It would probably create a localized ozone hole.


What will happen to earth if sun dies?

Earth dies too.Either one of two things will happen: 1. The amount of helium in the sun will get so small and the amount of carbon dioxide will get so big, that the Earth will be swallowed by the sun.or2. The sun will explode and form into a big black hole and Earth and all the other planets will be going in the black hole.


Is the Earth bigger than a Black hole?

It depends on the mass of the black hole. The size of the event horizon is directly proportional to mass. Most black holes are what we call "stellar mass" black holes which range from about 3 times to 30 times the mass of the sun. The event horizon of a 30 solar mass black hole would be about 110 miles in diameter. Earth, by comparison, is just over 7,900 miles in diameter. An intermediate mass black hole about 1,340 times the mass of the sun would have an event horizon about the same size as Earth. Astronomers have detected supermassive black holes up to 12 billion times the mass of the sun. Such a black hole would have an event horizon 44 billion miles across, or about 5 times larger than the orbit of Pluto.


If earth was no longer a planet what could it be?

If Earth combusted? Then it would be either a black hole (mabye not big enouph) or the particles would begin to form a new planet, or it could just disapear.


Is the core of a black hole a quark gluon plasma?

No.It is Event Horizon.
