What If Earth Orbited a Black Hole?

What would happen if Earth orbited a black hole instead of the Sun? Would we be torn apart, frozen, or could life actually survive? Surprisingly, if the black hole had the same mass as the Sun, Earth’s orbit might not change much at first. But without sunlight, our planet would plunge into darkness, temperatures would drop, and life as we know it would vanish — unless we found a new way to survive. In this video, we explore the science, the chaos, and the cosmic "what if" of living next to a black hole.
