Our sun is not enough to become a black hole. But if it were, and it collapsed, would the Earth be draw into it?
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'.

This is because the gravitational attraction of the sun is balanced by the pressure due to the sun's light. Assume the sun is far enough away that it closely approximates a point source of light. The distance from the centre of the sun at which the sphere hovers is :
View SolutionThe solar constant is the amount of heat energy received per second per unit area of a perfectly black surface placed at a mean distance of the Earth form the Sun, in the absence of Earth's atmosphere, the surface being held perpendicular to the direction of Sun's rays. Its value is 1388W/m2. If the solar constant for the earth is 's'. The surface temperature of the sun is TK,D is the diameter of the sun, R is the mean distance of the Earth from the sun. The sun subtends a small angle 'theta' at the earth. Then correct options is/are:-
View SolutionSupernova refer to the explosion of a massive star. The material in the central case of such a star continues to collapse under its own gravitational pull. If mass of the core is less is than 1.4 times the mass of sun, its collapse finally results in a white dwarf star. However, if the core has a mass greater than this, it could end up soon as a neutron. star and if its mass is more than about three solar masses, the collapse may still continue till the star becomes a very small object with an extremely high value of density called a 'Black hole'. Escape speed for a black hole is very large. The figure shows a block hole of radius R and another concentric sphere of radius RS, called the 'Schwarzschild Radius'. It is the critical radius at which escape speed equals the speed of light c. Nothing even the light, can escape from within the sphere of Radius RS. So light from a black hole can not escape and hence the terminology 'black hole'. There has been astronomical evidence of a small and massive object at the centre of our galaxy the 'Milky way'. Suppose that there is a particle at a distance about 6 light years. that orbits this massive object with an orbital speed of about 2×105m/s.

According to bilogical evolution (including aging processes etc.) on that planet similar to ours, what would be the average life span of a 'human' on that planet in terms of its natural life ? The average life span of a human on the Earth may be taken to be 70 years.
