Final answer:

The Sun, currently a main sequence star, will become a red giant in the future and will not form a black hole.


Explanation:

The current sequence of stellar evolution for the Sun:

  • The Sun is currently in the main sequence phase of evolution.

The future path of the Sun:

  • In around 4.5 billion years, the Sun will expand and become a red giant star.
  • After that, stars similar to the Sun end their lives as planetary nebulae, leaving behind a small hot white dwarf star at the center of the planetary nebula.

Regarding the formation of a black hole:

  • No, the Sun will not form a black hole as stars like the Sun do not have enough mass to undergo a supernova and create a black hole.
