Impossible to answer as it's a measure of mass, and there as black holes with less mass than the Sun and some with more.

Can a black hole consume a sun?

It depends on how big the black hole is. If the black hole is small enough it will evaporate into nothingness before it could have any effect on the Sun. However if the black hole didn't evaporate, and if it fell into the Sun, the entire Sun would gradually fall into the black hole.


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


Does a black hole rotate around the sun?

No. There are not black holes anywhere near our solar system. Even then, scientific models suggest that stellar-mass black holes, the smallest common type, must be at least 3 times more massive than the sun, so the sun would more likely orbit the black hole if one were nearby.


Why does a black hole have more gravity then the star it once was despite having the same or less matter?

This is a common cause of confusion. In a way, if no mass got lost in the creation of a black hole, then it will have exactly the same gravity than before. For example, if our Sun converted to a black hole (not that it is planning to do so...), our Earth would continue orbiting this black hole, in the same orbit as before. What makes a black hole different is that the mass is very concentrated; so, it is possible to get much closer to the black hole - and remember that gravity gets stronger at shorter distances.


How big is Neptunes Black hole?

There is no black hole on Neptune. Neptune is a planet in our solar system known for its blue color and is the eighth planet from the Sun. Black holes are incredibly dense regions in space with a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape.

What happens if a black hole touches the sun?

If it gets close enough to the Sun, a black hole would swallow up most of the Sun - becoming a larger (more massive) black hole. A small part of the Sun's matter, i.e., part of its gases, would probably escape into space.


Does the sun have an black hole like Jupiter?

No. There not a black hole on the sun or on Jupiter.


How fast does a black hole take parts of space away?

Honestly, space doesn't need a black hole to take space away. Everytime a sun/star dies, dark matter expands. Therefore space is taken away anyways.


When was Black Hole Sun created?

Black Hole Sun was created in 1994-05.


Why does the sun's energy form a black hole?

The sun's energy has not formed a black hole.


Do black hole suck the sun?

In theory, yes, a black hole could suck up the sun.


Is the sun orbiting a black hole?

No, the sun is not orbiting a black hole. The sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy and orbits around the center of the galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.

Is a black hole more powerful than the sun?

It depends on the circumstances. A black hole that is actively feeding can emit more energy than the sun as matter becomes superheated before falling into it. A feeding supermassive black hole forms a quasar, which can emit more energy in a single second than the sun will in its entire 10 billion years. However, if a black hole is not feeding then the only energy it gives off is Hawking radiation, which is so slight that we would not be able to detect it, even at close range. The gravity of a black hole is far stronger than that of the sun.


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.
