Is a blackhole going to suck up the earth?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No. There possibility of Earth encountering a black hole is extremely remote. Black holes do not suck like a vacuum. Rather, matter falls in due to the black hole's gravity. Since the event horizon of a typical black hole is quite small, one could not swallow Earth. Rather, in the event of an encounter, Earth would be torn apart by tidal forces and only a small portion of its mass would actually enter the black hole. The rest would be expelled back away from it.

Answer 3

No. The Sun doesn't have enough mass to become a black hole. The sun is like any other star, it lives and dies. The sun is thought to be half way threw it's hydrogen supply, as it starts to run out of it's hydrogen it starts to expand bigger and bigger into a red giant as it swallows Mercury, Venus and maybe even earth. If that happens it will evaporate each planet as it swallows them.

Answer 4

No. Don't worry. Scientists have yt to discover a black hole near our planet. I know black holes are terrifying and scary, and you can be ripped apart and %99.999999 chance of surviving and bein pulled back in time, but black holes don't happen normal around our solar system.

Answer 5

It is certainly possible that it could occur, so long as the black hole was large enough. Of course, as I'm sure you guessed, this would require the presence of such an object. You can rest assured that there are no black holes in our immediate future, by which I mean at least the next several million years. While it may sound strange, there are a couple ways to detect their presence. If there were a black hole massive enough to pose any kind of danger to us, we would be able to detect its presence many thousands of years in advance.

Answer 6

This can't be known in advance, since not all black holes in the Universe are known. However, it is extremely unlikely that such an event will happen any time soon (say, in the next billion years or so). As of 2014, the nearest known regular (stellar) black hole is at a distance of about three thousand light-years. The nearest supermassive black hole is at a distance of about 26,000 light-years. Even at the distance of the nearest star (ca. 4 light-years), a regular black hole would pose no significant risk.

Answer 7

"The" black hole is wrong: there are many black holes, not just one. If you mean a specific black hole, please clarify which one.A black hole can destroy anything that gets close enough. The closest known black hole is at a distance of several thousand light-years; at that distance, it is harmless. It is unlikely that Earth will collide with a black hole as long as Earth exists (say, for the next few billion years).

On the other hand, there are several other things that could potentially destroy Earth. For example, a collision with another star is actually much more likely than with a black hole. Even more likely is the scenario that a star coming too close to the Solar System could catapult planets out of our Solar System. Without the energy from the Sun, we would be doomed.

Answer 8

No, the nearest black hole is too far away to pose any threat to Earth. Additionally, Earth's orbit is stable and not at risk of being drawn into a black hole.

Answer 9

No way. even if sun becomes a black hole, it won't swallow Earth. anyway, Sun won't becoame a black hole cause it is not that massive.

Answer 10

Most likely, not. The sun's gravitational pull keeps the Earth in place. There are also only about four blackholes in the milky way.
