That's how long it takes light to travel from the sun to Earth and if the sun were to stop emitting light, the last bit of light emitted will arrive at Earth 8 minutes later. If for some reason, the sun were to be artificially compressed into a black hole, it would initially take 8 minutes for us on Earth to notice the change. So we don't have to worry about that at least. Life will not last in our solar system, or even our solar system will disappear because the black hole swallowed it.First of all, the sun is too light to naturally collapse into a black hole at the end of its life cycle. Well, so we can conclude that if the sun is replaced by a black hole or if the sun turns into a black hole, there is no difference. And so you know, Betelgeuse will soon explode, and he will become a Blackhole. To become a black hole, the sun must have at least the mass of the star Betelgeuse. Technically, black holes cannot form from stars that only have dwarf mass like our sun. So, the sun can never explode and evolve into a black hole because of its relatively small mass. The good news, scientists categorize the sun as a dwarf star. Unless there is a sophisticated technology capable of providing a source of energy like the sun. So, with that temperature, of course, no living thing will survive. Well, the first thing that happens is that the atmosphere on Earth will rain like a liquid and it will freeze.Įarth will experience a phase called thermal equilibrium which makes the surface conditions filled with ice and has a very cold temperature of around -200 degrees Celsius to -270 degrees Celsius. This will lead to various events that end in the extinction of life. Earth FreezesĪfter the sun is replaced by a black hole, the earth, and all the planets will lose their light source.

If it is true that a black hole has a mass like a sun, then only objects that are in a radius of 1,718 kilometers will be sucked into the black hole. With the same mass as the sun, the movement of the planets around it will remain in its orbit. Then what are the events that could happen on our earth? Actually what happened was not that the earth and other planets would suddenly disappear and disappear, yes, but in this universe, there would only be losing light sources.īefore we go into the discussion, we have to assume that this black hole has the same mass as the sun. Well, once you know if the sun is replaced by a black hole there will be no life. Earth Will Not Be Sucked In by a Black Hole Especially when a black hole has a mass much larger than the sun, surely the earth and the planets around it will disappear into it. Well, because there is no light source, if this black hole is the only source of energy in the universe there is certainly no life. Around the black hole, there are materials such as gas and dust, as well as radiation which is very dangerous if we are near it. This black hole has gravity so strong that light coming into this hole cannot get out or escape from it. Physicists in the 1980s believed that every galaxy contains at least one supermassive black hole. And the only energy in the universe will be black holes. Well, all scientists agree that the stars in this universe will disappear because the mass continues to decrease. What makes the sun’s mass continue to decrease? All-Stars Will Fade Away Like the sun in our solar system, every second it loses about 4 million tons of mass. Scientists have agreed that all the stars in the universe are shrinking and will eventually disappear.
