  1. of course not. a black hole is a an expired star which had exploded..

    it will eventually be eaten by the hole...


  2. The sun would become a White star, with very high density.The Sun would be compressed and its energy would not be strong enough to escape the gravitational pull.In effect, a Black whole would devour and absorb the Sun.  

  3. Not for long. both could orbit around each other for a long time (up to a few million years), but finally, the sun will get destroyed by the gravity forces of the black hole.  

  4. if it was a micro-black hole, the black whole would probably evaporate (hawking radiation) before anything happened.  if is was a multi-stellar mass or supermassive black hole, the sun would have its mass siphoned off into the accretion disk of the hole, or, the black hole could cause the sun to explode (look up "hypernova")

  5. If the sun came within the event horizon of a black hole, it would be pulled in and destroyed.  This won't happen though, because it isn't located anywhere near a black hole.

    An object many astronomers believe is a black hole has been found only 1500 light-years from Earth, making it the closest black hole candidate. Although dramatic explosions emanate from the object, it is far enough away so that we are in no danger.

  6. Depends on the size of the black hole. A mini black hole would have little effect on the sun. However, like others have answered, a stellar mass black hole that "interacted" with the sun would totally destroy it...along with most of our solar system.

  7. The black hole would suck the Sun into itself. In any black hole vs. 'BLANK' scenario, the black hole would win.
