The sun won't become a black hole simply because it lacks sufficient mass to make the transition. A black hole is formed when a giant star reaches a point where it collapses. There is a "threshold" or minimum amount of mass a star must have to become a candidate to become a black hole. Our neighborhood star is too "light" to make the cut.
The only way for our star to become a black hole is to randomly gain almost 10x its amount of matter. even then we need to wait another 5 billion years for it to go supernova, and even if that happened, there is still the chance it will become just a neutron star.

∙ 14y agoThere is a value known as the chandressakar limit that applies to stars, any star beyond that limit will lack the energy to go supernova at the end of its life and collapse into a black hole. Our sun does not exceed this limit.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe sun does not have enough mass to implode into a blackhole. It needs to be at least 10x the size of the sun.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoThe sun does not have enough mass to form a black hole. Only stars 25 times the mass of the sun or more can form black holes.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause its too small. For a star to become a black hole, it has to be at least three times bigger than our sun.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoOur own sun will not become a black hole simply because it isn't massive enough. For a black hole to form, a star needs to be at least 3x the mass of our sun.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThe sun is not heavy enough to become either a supernova or a black hole. Only the larger stars have that capability.

∙ 11y agoSimply because it is not massive enough. A star needs to have a mass that's at least 3 times that of our own sun to turn into 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.
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.
Why will the Sun will eventually become a black hole?
it wont.
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.
Why does the sun's energy form a black hole?
The sun's energy has not formed a black hole.
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
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.
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.
Why it is impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole?
Simply put, it isn't big enough. A star must have a certain mass to become a black hole after its "death", and the Sun doesn't have enough. Our "Sun" is not big enough, only stars that are a lot bigger will explode and become a black hole.
