No. You will not be swallowed by the black hole but you still would not survive for very long. If the sun become a black hole it would retain the same mass, so the orbits of the planets would remain the same. It is only within the former radius of the sun that gravity would be unusually strong. The problem is that the new black hole sun would no longer give off any heat or light. No light means no photosynthesis; the plants we depend on for food would die. No heat means Earth would freeze, eventually becoming colder than Pluto.
You have nothing to worry about in this regard, though, because the sun is nowhere near massive enough to create a black hole.
If the sun were to become a black hole, it would not affect life on Earth directly. Black holes only have a strong gravitational pull if you get very close to them, so Earth's orbit would not change. The Sun becoming a black hole is not a realistic scenario, as it would require many times its current mass to do so.

Why is it impossible for the sun to become a black hole?
The sun cannot become a black hole because it is too small. Black holes are formed when the core of a dying star becomes so dense it can't support its own weight. It then collapses on itself, forming a black hole. When our sun dies, the core will not be dense enough to collapse, so it will cool to a white dwarf. As a dimly shining speck of light, the white dwarf will burn all of the sun's remaining fuel until it completely burns out and becomes a cold, lightless black dwarf.
What circumstance will a star become a black hole?
Generally, a black hole will be created when a star 3x (or higher) more massive than our Sun dies, it becomes a black hole. It can vary based on the environment around it and the very materials making up the star as it dies.
How big would the sun be if it was a black hole?
If the Sun were to collapse into a black hole, it would not grow significantly in size. The size of a black hole is determined by its mass, not its previous size as a star. The Sun would become a black hole with a radius of about 3 kilometers.
Can sun escape from a black hole?
No
Can a black hole consume a sun?
Yes, a black hole can consume a sun. If a star collapses into a black hole, the intense gravitational pull can start consuming surrounding matter, including other stars and planets. The black hole's event horizon can engulf a sun and pull it into its gravitational influence.
How is it possible for the sun to turn into a black hole?
The sun cannot become a black hole. For a star to form a black hole it must be at least 25 times the mass of the sun. When a star like this runs out of fuel in its core, the core collapses and becomes a a black hole while the outer layers are blasted away in a supernova.
Can the sun form a black hole and take earth to another galaxy If yes how I no why not?
No, the sun does not have enough mass to form a black hole. Even if it did, the sun's gravitational pull would not be strong enough to drag Earth into another galaxy. The sun will eventually evolve into a red giant and then a white dwarf, but it will not become a black hole.
Does the sun have an black hole like Jupiter?
No. There not a black hole on the sun or on Jupiter.
Is it possible to sustain life on earth with artificial lights if sun becomes a black hole?
well maybe we could... and maybe we couldn't... but if it was a black hole we would be sucked in anyway...
How many more years has the sun got to live?
the sun has 100 billion years more to live.after which it becomes a dark hole.
When was Black Hole Sun created?
Black Hole Sun was created in 1994-05.
Why do black holes not suck things up?
A black hole will "such things up" if such things get sufficiently close to the black hole. This is a result of its gravity. Similarly, our Sun will "suck things up" if they get too close - for example, a comet might crash onto the Sun; the comet's mass will increase the mass of the Sun. Please note that if, for example, our Sun becomes a black hole (it probably won't, since it doesn't have enough mass for that), without changing its mass in the process, the Earth will continue orbiting the black hole as it orbited the Sun before. It will NOT be "sucked up" in the process - the black hole's gravitational attraction would be the same as the Sun's attraction before becoming a black hole.
Why does the sun's energy form a black hole?
The sun's energy has not formed a black hole.
How much longer does a black hole need to live?
It doesn't "need to live", but it will, whether it needs, or not. A black hole with the mass of our Sun or more is very resilient; it will continue existing - as a black hole - for much, much longer than the current age of the Universe.

Do black hole suck the sun?
In theory, yes, a black hole could suck up the sun.
