Me and my friend were talking about a slightly related subject over some brews and I started to think. Is it a big enough star to create a black hole and destroy this system? Would humans have to leave the entire system to survive however many thousand years from now?

I didnt ask because it matters to me as a current person, Im asking as a science thought.. Im thinking about the future of our race lol

No, it will not. The sun doesn't have enough mass to become a black hole. It will not blow up, either. It will expand to become a red giant and swallow Mercury, Venus and maybe Earth. However, it will throw off its outer layers and shrink down to a white dwarf. A black hole needs to be a star of at least 3 solar masses to become a black hole.

No. It needs to be about 20 times the size of the sun to become a black hole. Our sun will become a white dwarf. However, if at some later time the sun as a white dwarf becomes a binary pair with a large star, and it accretes enough matter to get up to 1.4 solar masses, it will explode in a type Ia supernova and become a black hole.

once an merchandise has surpassed the shape horizon of a black hollow, no longer something can ward off that body falling to the singularity on the midsection. with the help of then, for sure, that body will be damaged down into it really is constituent parts. Hawking radiation is the phenomenon defined with the help of Stephen Hawking it really is type of a radiation as if from the black hollow. although, what occurs is that this. purely outside the shape horizon, the mammoth gravity boosts digital particle/anti particle pairs into turning out to be genuine. between the pair enters the black hollow, the position all assistance is lost, at the same time as the different 0.5 escapes into the Universe. Conservation of ability is retained because the particle contained in the black hollow has unfavorable ability. it really is purely on the quantum element, and macro bodies falling in are, i'm afraid, doomed. it really is not "sucked" into the singularity, any more desirable than you're "sucked" onto the exterior of the Earth, yet fairly descends to the midsection less than the stress of gravity.

The sun will *not* explode. It would have to be at least 1.5 times more massive for that to happen.

For the sun to explode AND end up as a black hole would require at least 10 times the mass it has.

It will eventually expand into its red-giant stage and consume Mercury, Venus, and very possibly Earth. In the end, the sun will become a white dwarf star, hardly larger than Earth.

No. The sun is not big enough to create a black hole. The sun wouldn't explode either. It'll shrink.
plus, once the sun dies, all life on Earth dies.

This system will be destroyed for sure even without the sun turning into a black hole.

Energy given out will be absorbed back in... that is nature... like when the body dies... the energy will be absorbed back into earth to fuel another.

A minimum size black hole would be about 2.5 solar masses.
The sun could not do it,it is not massive enough

No, not right away. First it will explode in a nova event, then it will expand into a red giant, swallowing what is left of the earth at that point. The black hole event will come much much later. But, not to worry, these things will occur more than 3 billion years in the future. If a comet or giant volcano doesn't destroy our race first.

not enough mass to super-implode to a black hole.
but it will turn into a white dwarf eventually. But that will be a moot point because at around that time our galaxy will be merging into the andromeda galaxy so we will either be a) thrown into the ever hungry black hole of andromeda's or our own galaxy's black hole. b) slung off into the far reaches of interstellar space and suffer a horrible cold lonely death. c) thrown into the path of another large object and get absorbed/blown to itty bitty pieces d) merge safely into a new reformed super galaxy with heavy radiation and horrid gravitational tides that will rip and tear systems apart.

Not big enough to create a black hole. It will expand to a red giant and swallow Earth then shrink to a red dwarf (I think).
