Best Answer

The sun cannot become a black hole because it is too small. Black holes are formed when the core of a dying star becomes so dense it can't support its own weight. It then collapses on itself, forming a black hole. When our sun dies, the core will not be dense enough to collapse, so it will cool to a white dwarf. As a dimly shining speck of light, the white dwarf will burn all of the sun's remaining fuel until it completely burns out and becomes a cold, lightless black dwarf.
