Is Jupiter going to break off from our solar system in somany years?
Question:
Answer:
Nope. Whoever told you this has been watching too much science fiction.
Black holes are just collapsed stars, and their gravity is no bigger than any other star (except to things that are very close to it). There are enormous black holes at the center of galaxies, but these don't pose a threat to the majority of the galaxy ... and the earth is way out near the edge of our galaxy. And there is no black hole even theorized that is big enough to swallow entire galaxies.
Short answer is no.
not in your lifetime-worry about what you can fix
Not in a million year!
No
Our Sun will engulf it first.
No, a black hole isn't that powerful. If it were at the center of the galaxy, it might affect the milky way by maybe the Planck distance. Jupiter couldn't possibly find a new sun because the next one from Jupiter is about 25,000 times farther from it than the Sun is.
No. The nearest black hole is perhaps the one at the center of our galaxy. We're nowhere near it. Jupiter, being big (as massive as 300 earths), but not too big (about 1/1000 the size of the sun) is a nice protector of the inner solar system.
Rather than being sucked away by something, it more often captures smaller objects (such as asteroids and comets) heading in strange orbits toward the inner solar system (where we are!).
Jupiter has to increase in mass by about 10-15 times over to become a functioning star, and that ain't happening anytime soon either, despite what somebody saw in "2010", the movie.
False
Cocanutt is rite, it would probrably take billions of years for jupiter to break off its orbit. It's most likely, the sun will destroy it first. Don't get scared or anything, because that won't happen for billions of years.
Your "someone" is full of hot air! Jupiter ain't goin' nowhere.
