Can the Sun turn into a blackhole?
Will the Sun become a black hole? No, it’s too small for that! The Sun would need to be about 20 times more massive to end its life as a black hole. In some 6 billion years it will end up as a white dwarf — a small, dense remnant of a star that glows from leftover heat.
What will happen if the sun explode?
The sun will eventually become cooler and bigger, and scientists say that will become a red giant. When it starts to expand, it will most likely envelop Mercury, Venus and Earth in its grasp, and these three planets will dissolve instantly. This is not expected to happen for several billion years.
What happens if our Sun suddenly becomes a black hole?
The Sun will never turn into a black hole because it is not massive enough to explode. But if, hypothetically, the Sun suddenly became a black hole with the same mass as it has today, this would not affect the orbits of the planets, because its gravitational influence on the solar system would be the same.
Why our sun will never become a black hole?
In smaller stars like our sun, once the nuclear fuel is exhausted, this electron degenerate pressure becomes strong enough to stop the collapse. This turns the star into a small dense shining hot object called the white dwarf. Therefore, our sun can never become a black hole.
Can your sun ever turn into a black hole?
No, our Sun is much too small to become a black hole. As it exhausts its hydrogen fuel, our Sun will start burning helium, swell in size and briefly become a red giant (giant in size, though not in mass), probably exceeding the size of the orbit of Venus.
Can a black hole consume a sun?
In a very close orbit, a black hole of sufficient mass could swallow up the Sun – since at a close enough range matter near the Sun’s surface would begin to be pulled toward the black hole more than towards the Sun. Another scenario might be that a black hole simply appears in the core of the Sun.
