      Hello Raif, there are lots of black holes and we have one in our own galaxy the Milky Way! It’s a long way from us though so no need to worry : -)

      There are black holes and they are in lots of places and come in lots of sizes. The nearest one to us is in the centre of our galaxy, but that is way far away from us, so it doesn’t bother us. But it is fun to watch what it does.

      Lots of black holes get created all the time, particularly after stars that are very big go Supernova. That’s more than ok 🙂

      The Sun will never become a black hole, but even if it did, we would all keep orbiting the Sun. It would just be incredibly dark.
