Question #14Question #14
If our sun were to become a If our sun were to become a black hole tomorrow, what black hole tomorrow, what
would happen to the earth’s would happen to the earth’s orbit around the sun?orbit around the sun?
Nothing.Nothing.
……because our orbit is due to the gravitation because our orbit is due to the gravitation between the sun & the earth, and that between the sun & the earth, and that didn’t change simply because the sun didn’t change simply because the sun became a black hole. became a black hole.
A black hole is the same mass, but in a A black hole is the same mass, but in a much smaller package!much smaller package!
The end.The end.
