Solution

To determine: The reason behind the Sun is not becoming a black hole.

Answer:

The Sun would need to be about 20 times more massive to end its life as a black hole.

Explanation:

Stars are of the bigger size, or bigger of the Sun, can detonate into a supernova toward the finish of their lifetimes before falling once again into a dark opening. An article with a gravitation draw, so solid that nothing, not light, can get away. Some little stars are sufficiently large to go supernova, yet too little to even consider becoming dark openings.

In approximately 6 billion years, it will wind up as a diminutive white person, a little thick remainder of a star that gleams from extra warmth. The cycle will begin around 5 quite a while from now when the Sun starts to run out of fuel.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the Sun would need to be about 20 times more massive to end its life as a black hole.
