A black hole can only be created by the death of a star if the initial mass of the star is more than 5 times the solar mass. If our sun becomes a black hole, the gravitational force between solar black hole and Earth would not change. The earth and other planets will continue to move in their respective orbits. In ths situation, the observers outside the solar system, would see the planets orbiting about 'nothing'. These observations will help the observers to decide the presence of a black hole (which is an unseen partner) at the position of 'nothing'.
