Black holes don't "suck", they have gravity like anything else. If you replaced the Sun with a black hole of the same mass, all the planets would continue in their orbits.
- Rooster61 4y agoI'd imagine there would be at least some deviance from their current orbits. The sun experiences tidal forces, just like any other body, and the distance between each planet and the closest/furthest atoms of the black hole would be different than that of the sun. Not sure how much different the orbits would be, but they would certainly be different to some degree.

- svachalek 4y agoThe point is, the planets would keep orbiting and not go plunging into the black hole due to its incredible gravitational power, as some might picture.
