Could a black hole destroy earth?
Black holes do not go around in space eating stars, moons and planets. Earth will not fall into a black hole because no black hole is close enough to the solar system for Earth to do that.

The sun will never turn into a black hole. The sun is not a big enough star to make a black hole.
