Will the sun ever go into a balck hole?

Question

Will it dissapear so that earth won't exist anymore?

Answer 1

Nope. It isn't big enough.

----edit-----

The sun would have to be at least three times bigger to turn itself into a black hole by collapsing when its fuel runs out.

The sun will probably become a white dwarf, that will eventually cool down to form a large carbon body (a big diamond, in other words).

Answer 2

Our sun is far too small to become a black hole at the end of its life cycle. In order for the sun to become a balck hole it has to be 25 to 50 times greater.

But yes it will dissapear.

Our sun is about 4.5 Billion (4,500,000,000) years old and is half way through is life cycle. The sun works by converting Hydrogen into Helium thus creating Light and Heat. At the end of its life cycle it will run out of hydrogen to convert to helium and it will have only helium.

As the nuclear fuels in it become depleted, the core contracts and the outer layers expand more then the orbit of mars (Red Giant). The outer layers of the sun will start to drift off into space (Planetary Nebula). The Sun looses most of its mass to the Nebula.

The star cools and shrinks and it will eventually be a few thousand miles in diameter (White Dwarf). No nuclear reactions will take place inside it and the faint star radiates its heat into space.

The Sun will eventually loose all of its heat and becomes cold and dark (Black Dwarf), which is just a cold carbon body (Diamonds)...one big diamond

Theory has it that the dusty remains of this process will one day form a new solar system, with a possibility of new life...

Answer 3

No, highly unlikely.

For stars with masses of up to 1.5 times that of our sun, expansion progresses with time until their cores expend all the available hydrogen and helium atoms which, prior to star death, were used to generate enormous amounts of energy via nuclear fission. The core would then contract while the outer layers would cool and expand, resulting in a dimmer, larger red giant.

This is the inevitable fate of our sun in time to come. In the red giant phase, its volume would extend all the way past our Earth and even consume the further planets.

The outer layers of the sun would then continue to expand, while the core contracts and the helium atoms within it fuse to form carbon. Energy is released to result in a stable, incompressible core. The outer layers would then drift into space as the star cools and shrinks to form a white dwarf.

Black holes would only result from stars more than three times the mass of our sun, when they collapse after a supernova explosion into an incredibly dense gravitational field. Such phenomena occur a good distance from our solar system, though they are near enough to be observed.

Answer 4

Never say never but very highly unlikely...
Sun is supposed to become a red giant in around
4.5 billion years and toast the earth before shrinking
to a white / brown dwaft & then a cinder...

Answer 5

We do have a black hole nearby in our galaxy and has good chance that we may be eaten by it. But not for another 5 billion years till the sun dies. we are safe till then.

Answer 6

It may go into a black hole, but It will surely burn out before then. The inhabitants of earth will have likely blown themselves up first. :\

Answer 7

Yes, but not until October 9th 2006.

Answer 8

eventually, the sun will die like all stars do. That is scheduled to occur in something like 10 million years.

Answer 9

It could go into a black hole if one ever came by, but it won't turn into one.

Answer 10

not a black hole but it will die out...ever see "Naked Science" on the National Geographic channel?? they really go into detail on the death of the sun.
