Theoretically, yes. But there is not one around.

Possible, but insanely unlikely. Not only are there no know blackholes nearby on a collsion course (which puts this fate millions to billions of years out to even have a chance of happening), but even a close encouter with a blackhole wouldn't likely swollow up the whole solar system.
Interesting enough, blackholes that wander the galaxy(ok orbit, but you know what I mean) typically have about the mass of large stars, for good reason, they were large stars! The central galatic black hole is an exception to this of course, but it won't go wandering any time soon!
Even if a black hole, or a large star(which could have the same gravity), were to find it's way into our solar system (again an event millions of years out if ever!) it wouldn't likely suck up all the planets for the same reason the sun doesn't. Most planets would probably have angular momentum relative to the object. Even a collision with a single planet or our sun is again very unlikely.
Suchan event would be disasterous enough however. The orbits of all the planets would be changed and our planet would likely become uninhabitable. This is the more serious concern!
That said, don't lose any sleep. Not only is it not likely to happen before the sun burns out on it's own, but we will have thousands (millions?) of years warning!

the sun's in the midway of its life span but still, there's another 5 billion years remaining for it..after that, it might just turn into a blackhole (see the life sequence of a star).
yes there'sa study that there might be a blackhole in the center of the milky way. it's too far from us anyway. the only possibility is when the nearest star from us aside from the sun, Alpha Centauri which is a triple star system collapsed to be a blackhole.

No. Or at least not really. There is no black hole anywhere near our solar system. Also, There is a lot of misunderstanding about black holes because of that "even light cannot escape" thing you always hear. That means nothing. After all, nothing that gets sucked in by Earth can escape either. If it could, you could jump off the Earth. But you can't. You are trapped on Earth just like any meteor that falls here. But on a black hole, light would be trapped too.

It could but not for billions of years.Astronomers say that there is a black hole at the center of our galaxy but i dont believe it would ever be able to suck up our solar system.They can only suck up as much mass that is around them so the chances are slim to none.

the cost of our image voltaic equipment is nowhere close to 134 miles according to 2nd and whether it develop into it does not regulate our ability to go out of it as a results of fact we are shifting on the comparable speed as quickly as we get away Earth's gravity. the area deliver that went to the moon moved at decrease than 20.000 mph.

It's very possible. But there are no black holes around. As far as we know...
But then again, we may be hurtling toward our doom at this very moment!! Have a good night sleep while thinking about that.

I think it is possible, but I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

theoretically yes, but if you are worried, don't it won't happen in our lifetime, our children's, our grand children's, or probably ever.
yes it is possible, but i doubt it.
