If the Sun became a black hole the orbit of the planets would remain the same. And that is because
in spite of it becoming one it would still have the same mass as before. So its gravitational effect on
any bodies orbiting it would be unaltered. As planets would carry on their respective trajectories like
before. But life on Earth would become extinct for there would be no alternative heat or light source
Black holes are commonly thought of as cosmic hoovers but this is not entirely true for they can only
suck in matter inside a specific range relative to their mass. And is why the orbit of the planets in the
above scenario would remain unchanged. However any thing that passed the event horizon would for
ever be lost as nothing can escape from a black hole once inside it. And so it cannot emanate heat or
light like a star can. Though black holes are actually dead stars that have come to the end of their life
