How long would the Earth last if the sun became a black hole?

[Mastikator]

When you say "stellar mass" black hole, do you mean a black hole with the mass of the sun? Or one with several to several-dozen times the mass of the sun? My first impression when you say 'stellar mass' is the mass of the sun, but in that case we wouldn't notice anything other than the sun has stopped shining. If you mean "several to several-dozen" solar masses, then yeah, our orbit will rapidly decay and we'll get ripped apart when we hit the black hole's roche limit.

I'm just copying NASA's nomenclature to be honest. It's a black hole that formed when a sufficiently large star undergoes supernova. The remaining black hole is at least 3 times more massive than the sun, but probably 5-8 times the mass of the sun.

Plopping down such a black hole on top of the Sun would possibly rip the Earth apart from the sudden gravitational wave, possibly atomize the Earth from the ensuing explosion. If neither of that happens then the resulting higher gravity would pull on the Earth 3-8 times stronger. That would change the orbit, wherever the Earth is would become the new apoapsis, the periapsis would be significantly closer, possibly within the roche limit.
