The sun is not massive enough to end up as a black hole. It will eventually cool down to a white dwarf.

The Sun will not become a black hole, it is not big enough. When it runs out of hydrogen fuel, it will contract and grow hotter until it reaches the temperatures and pressures at which helium can fuse, whereupon it will explode into a red giant and blow away most of its mass into interstellar space (as well as destroying Mercury, Venus and possibly Earth). The remainder will once again contract into a white dwarf, which will not fuse elements but will go on shining for hundreds of billions of years through its residual heat. Only larger stars can become black holes when they blow up.

Our sun won't be able to; A star needs to be at least 3 to 8 times as massive as our sun for that to happen, and that's a minimum.

Our sun, after all the hydrogen has been fused into helium, will swell to many times it's present size, and engulf the inner planets. After it's blown off most of it's mass, it'll be a white dwarf, which will gradually cool to a red, then brown, then a black dwarf, probably about the size of Earth.

The sun is a huge gas ball, when all the gases are burned or used up , what you have left is a black hole. A black is where you have nothing but black.

The sun can't "became" a black hole. This is due to verb-tense disagreement. Coincidentally, it can't become a black hole either, because it is not massive enough.

It will have to eat its Wheaties. Present theory states that a star of our sun's mass wouldn't be massive enough to collapse into a black hole. White dwarf, maybe.

Simply it cant its not big enough and we're already slowly but surely being sucked into a black hole and from what i read its 200,000 times bigger than the sun!

It can't. In theory, if you squeezed it down to a ball much smaller than the Earth, it would be a black hole, but there is no power in the universe that could actually do that.

our sun will never become a black hole its to small.
larger stars though can become one. Somewhere in their life as the start is abotu to die, it decides that unlike most starts that just wink out of exsistance, its gonig to blow up, which is bad (if your close to the star). anyway the tempature insdie gets hotter and hoter untill it starts spitting out heavy metals (iron lead that stuff) then it beging to colapse in on itself.this increses its density and its grational pull at that point. soon the gravy becomes so strong that not can excape its fury and a black hole is born.

It's not massive enough to become a black hole, but it will become a dwarf. If it were more massive, it would explode into a supernova, then become a black hole.
