    Wouldn’t a Jupiter-mass black hole have the same gravitational effects as Jupiter and absolutely nothing would be affected?

      My point was more that we’d probably have to increase the mass to be able to make it a black hole, as we don’t have the ability to compress it to a singularity.

      If you were very, very close to it, not exactly, since Jupiter’s mass is more spread out, making the gravitational pull slightly weaker at close range. But for practical purposes yeah nothing would change for us other than space debris being flung around it instead of hitting it.
