A black hole is most often made made when a large enough star supernovas and then collapses in on itself. Our sun will probably not become a black hole when it dies, it's too small. A star (neutron-degenerate) that creates a black hole has to be at least 3x more massive than our sun. Most likely when our sun dies it will just create a white dwarf then a brown or black dwarf (mass but no light is given off.)

∙ 10y agoThe Sun is about 4.5 billion years old. it has used up about half of its nuclear fuel (hydrogen). In about 5 billion years from now, the sun will begin to die.
As the Sun grows old, it will expand. As the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium, the core will contact and the outer layers will expand, cool, and become less bright. It will become a red giant star.
After this phase, the outer layers of the Sun will continue to expand. As this happens, the core will contract; the helium atoms in the core will fuse together, forming carbon atoms and releasing energy. The core will then be stable since the carbon atoms are not further compressible.
Then the outer layers of the Sun drift off into space, forming a planetary nebula (a planetary nebula has nothing to do with planets), exposing the core.
Most of its mass will go to the nebula. The remaining Sun will cool and shrink; it will eventually be only a few thousand miles in diameter!
The star is now a white dwarf, a stable star with no nuclear fuel. It radiates its left-over heat for billions of years. When its heat is all dispersed, it will be a cold, dark black dwarf - essentially a dead star (perhaps replete with diamonds, highly compressed carbon).
So no our sun will not become a blackhole.

∙ 13y agoNo. The Sun does does not have enough mass to explode and thus turn into a black hole. Our Sun will end it's life by turning into a red giant, swallowing the Earth and then eventually fading into a white dwarf.

∙ 15y agono the sun is to small. the sun would have to be at the very least 2 to 3 times larger than it is right now. it will just expand taking out Mercury venus earth and possibly mars then become a white dwarf
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThat is unlikely. Stars the mass of our Sun will eventually become white dwarves. It requires a larger mass than that of our Sun to become a neutron star, and even more mass to become a black hole. So, unless our Sun acquires a LOT more mass (by some matter that falls into the Sun), it won't become a black hole.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoNo, the sun cannot become a black hole. Our local star has insufficient mass to be a candidate for that fate.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo. The Sun will end it's life as a white dwarf.
The Sun does not have enough mass to become a black hole.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Only the most massive stars several times that of the sun become black holes.

∙ 10y agoyes as long as the are big enough sun is not big enough

∙ 10y agoOur sun currently has insufficient mass to form a black hole. Astronomers instead anticipate the sun will end its life as a white dwarf.

Why will the Sun will eventually become a black hole?
it wont.
When will our sun turn into a black hole?
It probably won't ever become a black hole, unless for some reason a lot of additional matter falls on the Sun. Stars the mass of our Sun become white dwarves after they run out of fuel.
How big would the sun be if it was a black hole?
Firstly our sun is too small to become a black hole. Only stars that are a million to a billion times our sun do this, because they burn through their fuel quickly, unlike our sun. A typical black hole has 3 times the mass of our sun
Will our sun become a red giant then will it become a supernova then a black hole?
No, our sun is not destined to become a supernova and/or a black hole. It will become a red giant, but it is not massive enough to cross the threshold and become a candidate for a fate like either of those last two.
If the Sun has a Schwarzschild radius why isn't a black hole?
The Schwarzschild radius is a theoretical radius a thing(here: Sun) would need to be compressed to to become a black hole.
Will the sun become a black hole one day?
No. The sun does not have enough mass to become a black hole. When the sun dies it will become a white dwarf.
Why is the sun considred a black hole?
First of all, our sun can not become a black hole, it is too small for that. However if a star is three times bigger than our sun, then yes it will become a black hole.
How long will it take for the sun to become a black hole?
The sun should not become a black hole. It does not have sufficient mass to undergo the necessary collapse.
Do black hole suck the sun?
In theory, yes, a black hole could suck up the sun.
Why does the sun's energy form a black hole?
The sun's energy has not formed a black hole.
Is there a possibility the sun could go super nova or turn into a black hole?
No. Our Sun isn't massive enough to go supernova, or to turn into a black hole. A star needs to be more than 3 times more massive than our Sun in order to become a black hole.
Why will the Sun will eventually become a black hole?
it wont.
When will our sun turn into a black hole?
It probably won't ever become a black hole, unless for some reason a lot of additional matter falls on the Sun. Stars the mass of our Sun become white dwarves after they run out of fuel.
Why will your sun not become a black hole?
It isn't big enough.
Will sun become a black hole at the end of life?
no it is to small
Could you cover the black hole?
i doubt it because it sucks in everything and it covers light. it could suck in the sun with ease. it itself is a star that has blown up. the star has to be realy big to become a black hole
Is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole because?
Our Sun is not nearly massive enough to become a black hole, or even a neutron star. Our Sun will end its life as a white dwarf.
