If our Sun were to become a black hole, would it gobble up the Earth?

Sit back and relax. The Sun would become a black hole only if its diameter of 13,92,000 kilometres were somehow magically compressed to just under 6 kilometres. But, suppose such a miracle does happen, compression would not stop there. Further collapse would reduce it to an infinitesimally small size. Would intense gravitational pull wrench the Earth from its orbit, swallow it

up, and annihilate all its matter? Would there be no escape for the Earth, since not even light can escape from the immense gravitational force of a black hole? Actually, nothing at all would happen to the Earth’s orbit. It would just become an orbit around a black hole rather than around an ordinary yellow star. The Earth would be well out of the black hole’s gravity reach.
