A small stellar sized black hole would be on the order of at least 3 solar masses. It would mean that we were part of a binary system with a supernova or somehow the solar system captured a rogue black hole. I’m not an astrophysicist but I‘m not sure what the orbital dynamics of that scenario would entail. I’m assuming you’re actually referring to a primordial black hole, something formed during the Big Bang, which could theoretically have smaller masses?
