      This is a really tricky question!
      If the sun collapsed it would become a black hole which is super dense.
      The sun collapse to under 4 miles across, but have the whole sun in it, we wouldn’t get sucked in, we would most likely just carry on as we are, except there wouldn’t be enough light, as no material or light can leave a black hole.
