Does the sun also become a 'BLACK HOLE' ?
A black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull. No not for another five billion years says the scientists.

 The sun does not have a black hole.Now, in case it becomes a black hole these may be the effects.
The main effect is that it would get very dark and very cold around here. The Earth and the other planets would not get sucked into the black hole; they would keep on orbiting in exactly the same paths they follow right now. Why? Because the horizon of this black hole would be very small -- only about 3 kilometers -- and as we observed above, as long as you stay well outside the horizon, a black hole's gravity is no stronger than that of any other object of the same mass.
